Strawberry Shortcake 12

1 3/4 cups of all purpose flour
2 tablespoons of granulated sugar
1 tablespoon of baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of grated orange zest
3 tablespoons of unsalted butter or margarine, cut into pieces
3/4 cup of skim milk
FOR THE FILLING
2 pints of fresh strawberries, sliced
1 tablespoon of orange juice
1 tablespoon of granulated sugar

Vanilla nonfat yogurt and mint leaves for garnish

Preheat oven to 450ºF. Spray a baking sheet with vegetable cooking spray. Stir in the orange zest. Using a pastry blender or knives cut the butter into the flour mixture until coarse crumbs form. Quickly stir in the milk until a soft dough forms. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to a 1/2 inch thickness. Using a 2 1/2 inch biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits. Gather trimmings, re roll and cut out more biscuits. Place on prepared  baking sheet. Bake until golden, about 12 to 15 minutes. Place the biscuits on a wire rack and cool slightly.

To prepare filling, in a large bowl, combine the strawberries, orange juice and sugar. Mix well. Split the warm biscuits in half horizontally. Place bottom halves on serving plates. Top each with some filling. Cover with biscuit tops. Serve with remaining filling, garnish with yogurt and mint. Serves 8
