Campton Shortcakes - 8 pts

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

3 tablespoons sugar

11/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/8 teaspoon salt

1 egg

1/3 cup heavy whipping cream

1/2 cup cold butter, (1 stick) cut into 1/2-inch

pieces

Egg wash, (1 egg whisked until blended)

Granulated sugar for topping

 

 

 

 

 

In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the

paddle attachment, sift together flour, sugar, baking

powder and salt.

 

In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg and heavy

whipping cream; set aside.

 

Add the butter to the flour mixture and on low speed

blend 2 minutes until butter resembles flattened

walnuts. Turn the machine off and add wet ingredients.

On low speed, mix until dough comes together.

 

Dust the work surface with all-purpose flour and scoop

out dough into it. Using hands, fold and flatten the

dough over itself until it forms a uniform square.

Using a rolling pin dusted with flour, roll the dough

to 1-inch thick. Cut the dough into 3/4-by-3/4-inch

diamonds. Brush with egg wash and coat with granulated

sugar.
