Star-Spangled Berry Shortcake

Preheat oven to 375ºF.

Toss berries with 3/4 cup sugar and set aside, stirring occasionally.

Using a food processor, pulse flour, baking powder, 1/2 cup sugar, and salt until combined. Add small cubes of butter and pulse about 10-12 times until there are some pea-size bits of butter remaining.

Whisk eggs and 1/2 cup cream and pour into the flour mixture. Pulse 25-30 times until large clumps begin to form.

Using a 1/2-cup measuring cup, form the dough and tap out onto a baking sheet. Recipe should yield 8-10 biscuits. Bake for 15–20 minutes, until lightly golden. Transfer to a rack to cool.

While those bake, beat remaining 1 1/2 cups cream, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and vanilla until soft peaks form.

To serve, either slice biscuits and half or serve whole. Top with berries, their liquid and some whipped cream.
