  A very tasty pudding, nice to eat in the summer. I have also made this with red berries before and its just as tasty.

  The first time that I made it I accidentally left out the sugar but ate it buttered with cheese and it was delicious. Remembered the sugar the next time and it made a lovely dessert with the blackberries and clotted cream. Thank you Barney

  An easy recipe with yummy results. I have made it several times using different sorts of fruit including sweetened,cooked Bramley apples when I have added cinamon to the dough. I usually use thick natural greek yoghurt instead of the cream.

  Made this using blackberries from my garden. Absolutely delicious. I grated the zest from 1 lemon into the dough mixture. I used whipped double cream with a couple of spoonfuls of lemon curd mixed through. Find the lemony taste goes really well with the blackberries.

  Absolutely gorgeous! I used strawberries, blueberries and blackberries in one half that was eaten straight away and then froze the other half (probably for tomorrow!). Loved it.

  This was absolutely delicious. Had a bit of trouble cutting the shortcake in two, but not bad for a first attempt. I used raspberries instead of blackberry's! Will definitely try this one again

  Never been disappointed with Barney's recipes, and this is exceptionally good! Really delicious, my new favourite! Used loganberries fresh from the garden (400g was plenty) didn't have clotted cream so used crème fraiche mixed with some leftover cream cheese frosting roughly equal quantities worked really well..shall be making it again this weekend. Also I wasn't sure about how I'd do with 'split the shortcake in two' so I cheated and divided the dough in two before cooking and reduced the cooking time to about 20 minutes - this also worked fine.

  This is the first time I've tried to make anything like this, and it's turned out pretty good - and really delicious. I followed the recipe closely, using fresh blackberrys from the garden. Too moreish, I need to go have another slice RIGHT NOW!
