Ingredients:

  • for the filling
  • 3 large ripe mangoes
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • for the shortcake/biscuits
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt (optional)
  • 1/2 cup cold butter , cut into slices
  • 2/3 cup cold milk
  • for the topping
  • whipped cream

Directions:

  1. FOR THE FILLING:
  2. ================
  3. To cut flesh from mango, use a smooth-edged, thin-bladed knife. Hold the mango stem side up with widest cross-section perpendicular to you. Start at the top, about 1/8 inch from the stem and slice downward, keeping the leading edge of the blade hugging the large flat seed. Repeat on the other side. Slice each half lengthwise into 1/4- to 1/2-inch strips and peel each strip. Cut strips crosswise into 1/4- to 1/2-inch chunks and place in small bowl. Add lime juice and sugar. Stir, cover and allow to macerate in refrigerator for at least 20 minutes or up to two days.
  4. ==========================
  5. FOR THE SHORTCAKE/BISCUITS:
  6. ==========================
  7. Preheat over to 450 degrees.
  8. Combine dry ingredients in medium mixing bowl, and whisk together.
  9. Add cold butter and cut into dry ingredients using a pastry blender or two knives, until mixture resembles coarse, random-sized crumbs (some unblended flour and pea-sized pieces of butter is ideal). Make a well in center and add milk, tossing mixture with fork to moisten. Do no stir.
  10. Press mixture together with hands, but do not knead. Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface, and press into a 3/4-inch thick rectangle, about 6 inches by 9 inches.
  11. Cut into six equal pieces about 3 inches square. Place on ungreased baking sheet, and bake 10 to 12 minutes until tops are golden.
  12. Remove to cooling racks and allow to cool completely.
  13. (You can also use a biscuit cutter, 21/2 to 3 inches; press scraps together to use all dough.)
