Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3
Add the softened butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry blender or your fingers to work it into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
4
In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and beaten egg. Pour the mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until the dough comes together in a shaggy mass.
5
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together. Pat the dough into a circle that is about 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick.
6
Use a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out rounds of dough. Gather the scraps, re-form the dough, and cut out additional rounds.
7
Place the rounds on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the shortcake biscuits are golden brown.
8
Allow the shortcake biscuits to cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before assembling the shortcake.
9
To assemble the shortcake, split the shortcake biscuits in half horizontally using a serrated knife. Spoon some of the fresh raspberries over the bottom half of the biscuit, followed by a dollop of whipped cream. Top with the top half of the biscuit and repeat the layers one more time.
