Buttermilk Shortcakes / Scones

Topped these with a mix of cherries, blueberries and blackberries (and fresh whipped cream of course!) for our weekly dinner with Nate & Sarah. Definitely my favorite shortcake. I am planning to add dried fruit at some point and eat these as breakfast scones as well. Made about 10 cakes. 

3 c flour

4 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

1/3 c sugar

1 1/2 tsp salt

3/4 c cold butter cut into small pieces

1 c buttermilk

2 T heavy cream

Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt. Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbles. Stir in buttermilk. Drop 1/3 c scoops, 2 inches apart onto parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush biscuits with heavy cream. Bake in 425 degree oven 15-20 minutes.
