Strawberry Shortcake

If you are looking for a treat, but wanting to cut back on sugar intake, this is a recipe for you!


Whole Wheat Biscuits
adapted from 100 Days of Real Food blog

• 2 cups whole wheat flour (I used King Arthur’s white whole wheat organic flour)
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ cup cold unsalted butter
• 1 cup milk (any kind)

In a medium sized bowl combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well with whisk or fork. Cut the ½ stick butter into little pea sized pieces and then mix the pieces into the flour mixture. Using a fork, try to mash the butter pieces as you mix it together with the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs. It is okay if the outcome just looks like the same pea sized pieces of butter covered with flour. Then pour in the milk and mix it all together. Drop by spoonful onto cookie sheet. Bake at 450 for 8-12 minutes (depending on size). 

Slice open biscuits. Cut up strawberries and add fresh whipped cream. Enjoy!
