Ingredients

Cornbread Shortcakes:

1/2 cup cornmeal 80 grams
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 195 grams
1 cup granulated sugar 200 grams
1 tablespoon baking powder 13 grams
1/2 teaspoon salt 4 grams
1/3 cup vegetable oil 72 grams
3 tablespoons melted butter 40 grams
1 tablespoon honey 21 grams
2 large eggs beaten
1 1/4 cups whole milk 270 grams
1/4 cup sour cream 66 grams

Whipped Cream:

2 cups heavy cream cold
1/2 cup powdered sugar 50 grams

Berries:

2 cups raspberries, blackberries, and sliced strawberries

Instructions

Cornbread Shortcakes:

Preheat oven to 350ºF and prepare your cupcake pan by using paper liners. You'll need about 16 liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl mix the vegetable oil, melted butter, honey, beaten eggs, milk and sour cream. Stir just until combined.
Add the dry ingredients with the wet and mix until combined.
Pour the batter into the baking cups 2/3 full and bake preheated oven for 20-22 minutes.
Set aside to cool.

For the Whipped Cream:

Before whipping the cream, place your large metal bowl and whisk attachment in the freezer for about 5 minutes.
Pour cream and sugar in the bowl and whip until stiff peaks form.

Berries:

Wash the berries and set them aside to dry thoroughly.

Assemble the shortcakes:

Slice each cooled cupcake in half.
First pipe the bottom with whipped cream and top with berries.
Place the other half of the cupcake on top and pipe more whipped cream and add more berries.
Serve immediately.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. These don't store the best once they are assembled, so I recommend only assembling them as you want to eat them.
