Make it step by step
- Make biscuits:
- Preheat oven to 375 °F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Blend flour, 4 tablespoons Sugar, baking powder, and salt in processor 5 seconds. Add butter. Using on/off turns, process until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add 1 cup cream and orange peel. Process just until moist clumps form. Gather dough into ball; gently knead 5 turns. Roll out dough on floured surface to 3/4-inch-thick round. Using 3-inch-diameter cutter, cut out 3 rounds. Gather dough and reroll as needed to make 3 more 3-inch rounds. Arrange rounds on prepared sheet. Brush with 2 tablespoons cream; sprinkle with 1 tablespoon Sugar.
- Bake biscuits until pale golden and tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Cool 15 minutes. (Can be made 2 hours ahead.)
- Make Berries and cream:
- Combine Berries, 1/2 cup Sugar, mint, and orange peel in medium bowl; stir to blend. Let stand at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
- Combine cream, vanilla, and remaining 3 tablespoons Sugar in large bowl. Whisk until soft peaks form.
- Cut biscuits horizontally in half. Place 1 biscuit bottom in each of 6 bowls. Top each with Berries, then sweetened whipped cream and biscuit top.
- Makes 6 servings.
