These red, white, and blue whoopie pies are fun, festive, and full of flavor.
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
- 3/4 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 c. (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1/2 c. granulated sugar
- 1/2 c. packed light brown sugar
- 1 tbsp. grated lemon zest
- 1 large egg
- 1 c. buttermilk
- 6 oz. small blueberries and raspberries
- 1 pt. Ice cream
Instructions
- Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Line 3 large baking sheets with parchment paper. In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
- Using an electric mixer, beat the butter, sugars, and lemon zest in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat in the egg. In two additions, alternately add the flour mixture and buttermilk, mixing until just incorporated. Gently fold in the berries.
- Scoop 32 mounds of batter (about 1 1/2 tablespoons each) onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake in batches until puffed and the tops spring back when lightly pressed, 12 to 14 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Form sandwiches with the cooled pies and ice cream (about 2 tablespoons per sandwich).
