# How to Make It:
01 -
Get your oven hot at 200°C with the rack smack in the middle. Chop up any big berries and take out cherry pits if you're using them. Toss all your fruit in a big bowl with the flour, white sugar, and salt. Dump it all into a 9×13 inch baking dish and spread it out flat. Sprinkle the chopped mint on top and drop little cubes of butter all over.
02 -
Stick the fruit mix in the oven for about 20 minutes till it's soft and bubbling around the edges. Pull it out and give it a gentle stir to mix up all those lovely juices.
03 -
While your berries are cooking, throw the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar for your biscuits into a food processor. Hit the pulse button 5 quick times. Add your cold butter chunks and pulse again until it looks like breadcrumbs with no butter bits bigger than rice. Pour in the cream and pulse just until everything sticks together.
04 -
Dump the dough onto some parchment paper and cut it into 12 equal chunks. Gently pat each piece into a round about 2.5 inches across. Lay these on top of your hot berry mixture. Sprinkle the raw sugar evenly on each biscuit top.
05 -
Put it back in the oven for another 20-25 minutes until the biscuits puff up and turn a nice golden brown color.
06 -
Let it cool down a bit. Scoop into bowls while still warm and top with ice cream, fancy crème fraîche, or whipped cream if you want.
# Extra Information:
01 -
Keep your butter and cream super cold before making biscuits - it'll make them extra flaky!
