Instructions

  • Step 
    1
    Heat oven to 400°F. Line large cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper.
  • Step 
    2
    In large bowl, stir together both flours, the graham cracker crumbs, baking soda and salt with whisk. Add chilled butter cubes; rub butter into flour mixture with fingers until mostly incorporated.
  • Step 
    3
    In measuring cup, beat milk and honey with whisk. Pour over dry ingredients; stir gently with wooden spoon. Turn out onto floured work surface; knead a few times, adding a few more handfuls of flour until dough holds together nicely and isn’t too wet. Pat into 1-inch-high round.
  • Step 
    4
    Using biscuit cutter, cut out shortcakes; place on cookie sheet.
  • Step 
    5
    Bake 10 to 13 minutes or until light golden brown and thoroughly baked. Remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Cool completely.
  • Step 
    6
    Meanwhile, place chocolate in medium bowl. In very small saucepan, heat 1/4 cup cream over medium heat until small bubbles form on surface, but cream is not boiling. Pour cream over chocolate; beat with whisk until smooth. Refrigerate until thickened, about 20 minutes.
  • Step 
    7
    In small bowl, beat 1/2 cup cream, the powdered sugar and vanilla with electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
  • Step 
    8
    Set oven control to broil. Arrange marshmallows in broiler-safe pan. Broil about 5 minutes, checking every 2 minutes, until adequately toasted.
  • Step 
    9
    To assemble shortcakes, split shortcakes in half crosswise. Spread ganache on bottom halves; top each with berries and 1 toasted marshmallow. Cover each with top half of shortcake; top with whipped cream and 1 berry. Serve immediately.
