Ingredients
- 4 cups blueberries
- 3 TBS sugar
- 1 TBS fresh lime juice
- 2 cups flour
- 1 TBS baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 6 TBS chilled butter, cut into small pieces

Preparation
Step 1
1. Preheat oven to 400F.
2. Combine first three ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook for 3 minutes or until berries begin to pop, stirring frequently. Set aside.
3. Place flour, baking powder, and salt in a food processor; pulse three times to combine. Add butter and ginger to processor; pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal.
4. Place mixture in a large bowl. Add milk, stirring just until moist. Turn mixture out onto a lightly floured surface. Press mixture into a 7" circle; cut into 8 wedges. Place wedges 1" apart on a baking sheet.
5. Combine egg white and 1 TBS water in a small bowl. Lightly brush tops of wedges with egg white mixture. Sprinkle evenly with turbinado sugar. Bake at 400F for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.
6. Place cream in a medium bowl. Beat with a mixer at high speed until soft peaks form. Add powdered sugar, beating until stiff peaks form.
7. Split shortcakes in half horizontally. Spoon 1/3 cup berry mixture over each bottom half. Top each with 1 1/2 TBS whipped cream. Cover with shortcake tops.
