Preparation
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Place the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and butter in a food processor.
Pulse for 5 seconds at a time until the mixture resembles coarse sand.
Transfer the mixture to a large bowl.
Add 1 egg, cream and lemon zest, then mix the until a dough is formed.
Place the dough on a floured surface and form it into a ball.
Flatten the dough until it becomes a disc that’s approximately 1-inch tall.
Cut the disc diagonally to form 6 triangles.
Beat the second egg in a small bowl, then brush the tops of the shortcakes with the egg. Sprinkle the coarse sugar evenly over the tops.
Bake on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for 15 to 18 minutes or until golden brown.
Let cool for 5 minutes, then remove the shortcakes from the baking sheet and cool on a wire rack.
Combine 2 cups of the blueberries, sugar and lemon juice in a pot.
Place the pot over high heat, then boil for 3 to 4 minutes or until blueberries have just started to break down.
Mix the cornstarch with 1 teaspoon of cold water.
Add the cornstarch mixture to the blueberries, then boil for 1 additional minute until the sauce thickens slightly.
Remove from heat, then stir in the remaining cup of blueberries. Set aside to cool.
Place the heavy cream in the bowl of a mixer, then beat with a whisk attachment until stiff peaks form.
Add the sugar and beat for an additional 30 seconds to combine.
Using a serrated knife, slice the shortcakes in half.
Place ⅓ cup of blueberry sauce onto the bottom of each shortcake, then top with ½ cup of ice cream.
Add the top piece of the shortcake.
Place a dollop of whipped cream on top/
