Shortcakes

  1. Heat oven to 450 degrees F.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the first 5 ingredients.
  3. Cut in the margarine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in the milk and sour cream to make a soft dough.
  5. On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough 2 minutes. Press to a 3/4 inch thickness. With a 2 1/2 inch round cookie cutter, cut into 12 biscuits.
  6. Spray a cookie sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Place the biscuits on the cookie sheet 1 inch apart.
  7. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
  8. Cool on a wire rack.
  9. To serve, split the shortcakes in half. Spoon 1 tablespoon whipped topping onto the bottom half of each shortcake. Top with approximately 2 tablespoons sliced berries. Replace the tops. Arrange the remaining berries on top of each shortcake.
