Peach and Blackberry Shortcakes with Blackberry CreamNoel Barnhurst

Shortcakes are biscuit-like cakes that have more butter (or shortening) than many other types of cake. In fact, pastry chefs often describe especially buttery doughs as "short."

Test-kitchen tip:

For the most tender shortcakes, don't overwork the dough. Once you add the liquid, stir until just blended.
