Dietitian s tip

Shortcake is a rich, salty biscuit. This healthier version calls for whole-wheat pastry flour and low-sodium baking powder. To make this plant based, use a milk substitute and a yogurt substitute.

Number of servings

Serves 8 High FiberLow SodiumHealthy carb

Ingredients

For the shortcake

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 or vanilla fat-free yogurt

Directions

Heat the oven to 425 F. Spray baking sheet with cooking spray. 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 into the prepared baking sheet and bake until golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer the biscuits onto individual plates. Top each with 3/4 cup strawberries and 1 1/2 tablespoons yogurt. Serve immediately.
