EatingWell: This blueberry shortcake is an American dream

By Danielle Centoni, EatingWell on

Bake the shortcakes until the tops are beginning to brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool on the pan for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

To prepare whipped cream: Combine cream and honey in a mixing bowl; beat with an electric mixer on medium-low speed until frothy. Increase speed to high and whip until medium-stiff peaks form.

To serve: Split shortcakes in half horizontally. Spoon about 1/4 cup berries on the bottom halves, add a dollop of cream and cap with the top halves.

To make ahead: Prepare the shortcakes (Steps 3 through 5) and refrigerate them overnight on the baking sheet. Let them stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before baking. The blueberries and whipped cream (Steps 1 and 7) can be prepared a day ahead and refrigerated. Briefly reheat the blueberries to take the chill off before serving.
