Shortcake
Apricot Filling
Green Tea Whipped Cream
Method
Prepare the Shortcake
Make the Dough
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the heavy cream just until combined.
Shape and Bake
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times. Pat it into a 1-inch thick round. Cut into wedges or rounds and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden.

Prepare the Green Tea Whipped Cream
Whip the Cream
In a medium bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and green tea powder until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip.
Assemble the Shortcake
Layer the Ingredients
Cut the baked shortcakes in half. Spoon the apricot filling onto the bottom half, add a dollop of green tea whipped cream, then place the top half back on. Serve immediately.
