Blueberry Strawberry Shortcakes

Classic strawberry shortcake is 4th of July ready with the addition of plump blueberries and a little zing from balsamic vinegar and herbs.

We’ve got the festive nailed as in red, white and blue. It’s practically a little slice of America on a plate.

INGREDIENTS

– All purpose flour – Cake flour – Baking powder – Sugar – Kosher salt – Vegetable shortening – Unsalted butter – Buttermilk – Heavy cream – Unsalted butter – Turbinado sugar

For a little extra pizzazz I macerated the berries in a bit of sugar and balsamic vinegar and then stirred in a sprinkle of fresh herbs.

The fluffy biscuits can be baked earlier in the day or even the night before.

While the whipped cream will hold in the refrigerator for a couple hours before serving.

I hope you enjoy this quintessential summer dessert that will no doubt bring even more sparkle to the 4th!
