In a food processor, pulse bake mix, pecans, 3 tablespoons of the sugar substitute and salt until nuts are finely ground. (If you don't have a food processor, grind the nuts in a nut or coffee grinder.) Add the butter and pulse until butter pieces are the size of peas.
In a liquid measuring cup or bowl, whisk 2/3 cup of the heavy cream, sour cream and egg. Pour evenly over the dry mixture and pulse just until combined. Transfer dough to a baking sheet.
Separate dough into 12 equal-sized pieces (you'll need about 3 1/2 tablespoons of dough for each piece). Pat each piece into a disk measuring 2 1/2 to 3 inches across. Space disks evenly on baking sheet; chill in refrigerator 30 minutes. (Dough may be kept for 1 one day at this point.)
Heat oven to 375 degrees. Bake shortcakes about 17 minutes, until bottoms are golden brown. Cool on baking sheet set on a wire rack.
With an electric mixer on medium speed, beat remaining cup of heavy cream with remaining 2 teaspoons sugar substitute until soft peaks form.
To assemble: Dollop 1/4 cup whipped cream on 6 six shortcakes, top with 1/2 cup berries and cover with remaining shortcakes.

"Nothing says "summer" like fresh berry shortcakes. You may prepare the dough ahead of time, but for best results, bake just before serving."
