In the Kitchen: How To Make Strawberry Shortcake

Recipe: Strawberry Shortcake, Enjoy!

I have a close friend that loves this...infact she is a lover of food. And you know she is not the only one that does so i decided to post this so when you are hungry and you have the energy to prepare something. Take out time to prepare this...

Ingredients
1 3/4 cups whole-wheat pastry flour, sifted
1/4 cup all-purpose (plain) flour, sifted
2 1/2 teaspoons low-sodium baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 cup trans-free margarine (chilled)
3/4 cup fat-free milk (chilled)

For the topping
6 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
3/4 cup (6 ounces) plain fat-free yogurt

Direction

In a large mixing bowl, re-sift the flours, baking powder and sugar together. Using a fork, cut the chilled margarine into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the chilled milk and stir just until a moist dough forms.

Turn the dough onto a generously floured work surface and, with floured hands, knead gently 6 to 8 times until the dough is smooth and manageable. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a rectangle 1/4-inch thick. Cut into 8 squares. Place the squares onto the prepared baking pan and bake until golden, 10 to 12 minutes.

Transfer the biscuits onto individual plates. Top each with 1 cup strawberries and 1 1/2 tablespoons yogurt. Serve immediately.

Enjoy!
