Ingredients

2 1/4 Cups Bisquick™ pancake & baking mix
4 Full tins All The Berries Cane Sugar
6 Cups fresh raspberries
1 Cup whole milk
1 1/4 Cups heavy whipping cream
1/4 Cup distilled water
3 Tbs unsalted butter
2 Limes

Directions

Preheat heat your oven 450F, and gently rinse raspberries.
Bring a small pot up to medium heat, and melt butter.
As soon as butter has melted, and before any browning occurs, add 3 cups raspberries, 2 full tins All The Berries Cane Sugar, and distilled water.
Cover, and increase heat to a low boil, stirring as you do. Lower to a simmer, and continue reducing, stirring occasionally, until needed.
In a large bowl, combine pancake mix and 2 cups raspberries, then pour in milk, and whisk into a thick batter.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand blender to beat cream and 2 full tins of All The Berries Cane Sugar into whipped cream, roughly tripling in size.
Drop 8 generous spoonfuls of batter onto 2 ungreased baking trays, and pop in the oven for 9 minutes.
Remove, and allow to cool for 2-3 minutes.
Slice one of the limes into thin coins, and reserve.
Use a hand-blender to puree compôte, and take off heat.
Cut shortcakes in half, widthwise, and plate bottoms on small individual serving bowls.
Top with whipped cream and raspberries, and several generous spoonfuls of berry compôte.
Crown with the cake top, a further dollop of whipped cream, and a single raspberry.
Garnish bowls with citrus slices, and lightly zest all of the cakes with remaining lime.
Serve and devour!
