TIP: It is best to bake this on a cookie sheet in case the berry juices bubble out of the pan.
Ingredients
  • Filling
    • 6 cups (907 grams) strawberries (2 pounds)
    • 2 cups (340 grams) blueberries (12 ounces)
    • 3/4 cup (150 grams) sugar
    • 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon (38 grams) cornstarch
    • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
    • 1/2 teaspoon grated ginger
  • Biscuits
    • 2 cups (260 grams) all-purpose flour
    • 1/4 cup (50 grams) sugar
    • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
    • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
    • 6 tablespoons (85 grams) unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes, chilled
    • 2 ounces (57 grams) white Cheddar
    • 1 large egg
    • 1/2 cup buttermilk
    • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
Directions
  1. To make the filling: Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. In a large bowl, gently toss together the strawberries, blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest, and ginger. Place the mixture in a shallow 10-cup baking dish.
  3. To make the biscuits: In another large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda. Cut the butter into the flour using a dough blender or your fingers, until it resembles coarse cornmeal. Stir in the Cheddar.
  4. In a small bowl, combine the egg, buttermilk, and cream. Add this to the flour mixture and stir just until there is no more visible flour, but the dough should still be sticky and lumpy.
  5. Scoop the biscuits evenly over the berries. They will be about golf-ball-sized scoops.
  6. Bake until the biscuits are golden brown and baked through, about 40 minutes. (See Cook’s Note.)
  7. Serve warm or at room temperature.
