Ingredients:
***PLUM FILLING***
2 lb black or red plums
1/3 cup water
1/3 cup amaretto
1/4 cup granulated sugar
***SHORTCAKES***
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup cake flour
5 tbsp granulated sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup almond paste
3/4 cup buttermilk, plus 1 tablespoon
1 tbsp canola oil
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/3 cup sliced almonds
mascarpone cream
Instructions:
TO MAKE PLUM FILLING:
Pit plums and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices. In a saucepan, combine water,
Amaretto and sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Add plums, return
to a simmer and cook until plums start to soften, 1 to 3 minutes. Remove
from heat and let cool to room temperature.
TO MAKE & ASSEMBLE SHORTCAKES:
1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat it with
nonstick spray.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk all-purpose and cake flours, 3 tablespoons
sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Using a pastry blender or your
fingers, cut almond paste into dry ingredients until mixture resembles fine
meal.
3. In a glass measuring cup, combine 3/4 cup buttermilk, oil and vanilla.
Make a well in the dry ingredients. Add wet ingredients and stir with a
fork until just combined. (Dough will be slightly sticky; do not overmix.)
4. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat into a
3/4-inch-thick circle. With a floured 3 or 3 1/2-inch cutter, cut out
shortcakes and place on prepared baking sheet. Press dough scraps together
and repeat to make 8 shortcakes.
5. In a small bowl, toss almonds with remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and
remaining 1 tablespoon buttermilk. Lightly press mixture onto shortcakes.
6. Bake shortcakes for 10 to 12 minutes, or until light golden. Transfer to
a wire rack to cool slightly.
7. To serve, split shortcakes in half with a serrated knife. Set bottoms on
dessert plates. Spoon on plum filling and mascarpone cream. Set tops on at
an angle. Serve immediately.
Makes 8 servings.
