Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups fresh blueberries
Zest of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons honey
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Pour in the heavy cream and vanilla extract. Stir the mixture until it forms a soft dough.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently a few times. Pat it into a 3/4-inch thick round.
Using a 3-inch round cookie cutter or a drinking glass, cut out circles from the dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
In a separate bowl, toss the fresh blueberries with the lemon zest, lemon juice, and honey until well coated.
Spoon the blueberry mixture over half of the dough circles. Top with the remaining dough circles to form mini shortcakes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until the shortcakes are golden brown and cooked through.
Let them cool slightly before serving.
