Strawberry Shortcake 2
Ingredients
3/4 C. whole wheat flour
3/4 C. unbleached white flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/3 C. plus 3 tsp. brown sugar (packed)
2 Tbsp. butter, melted
3/4 C. low-fat milk
1 pint strawberries
Cooking Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degree. In a mixing bowl, sift together the flours, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, combine 1/3 C. of the sugar with the melted butter until it dissolves. Stir in the milk, then combine the wet with the dry ingredients and work together to form a soft dough. Turn the dough out onto a well-floured board and knead for a minute or so. Divide the dough into 2 equal parts, form into smooth balls, and roll out to fit the bottom of a pie pan. Place the rounds of dough in 2 lightly oiled pie pans. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until dough is golden brown. In the meantime, combine the crushed strawberries with the remaining 3 Tbls. sugar in a small bowl. Cover until ready to use. Allow the baked dough to cool until it is just warm to the touch. Place 1 round on a serving plate, spread it with the berries, and top with the other round of dough. Cut into wedges to serve; this is best served fresh and warm. Top each serving with a bit of cold, stiffly beaten heavy cream if you would like.
