a ball. Flatten the dough into a circle to a 1-inch thickness. With a
2-inch round cutter, cut out 12 to 16 shortcakes and place on a baking
sheet lined with parchment paper or wax paper. Bake for 13 minutes. Let

Cover with 4 tablespoons sauce, 2 tablespoons of the chilled Whipped
Cream, and the top half of each shortcake. Ladle 4 more tablespoons sauce
over the shortcakes and top with 2 tablespoons whipped cream. Garnish with
the mint leaves and serve immediately.
