Time 40m

Yield 15

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
⅓ cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup butter
¾ cup canned pumpkin
1 egg
½ cup whipping cream
2 tablespoons sugar
2 (5.3 ounce) containers VOSKOS® Nonfat Blueberry Greek Yogurt
2 cups fresh blueberries
¼ cup sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Combine the whole wheat and all-purpose flours, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Using a pastry blender cut in butter to resemble coarse crumbs. Whisk together the pumpkin and egg; add to flour mixture and stir until dough comes together.
  • On a floured surface knead dough by gently folding and pressing until it just holds together. Pat dough out to 3/4-inch thickness. Using a floured 2-inch biscuit cutter cut out shortcakes; reroll scraps as necessary. Place shortcakes 1 inch apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden. Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes. Serve warm shortcakes split and filled with Blueberry Filling and Blueberry Sauce (see Steps 3 and 4 below).
  • Blueberry Filling: Combine whipping cream and sugar in a chilled mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form (tips curl). Fold together whipped cream and VOSKOS® Nonfat Blueberry Greek Yogurt. Serve immediately or chill up to 5 hours.
  • Fresh Blueberry Sauce: Combine blueberries and sugar in a food processor and pulse until a chunky sauce forms. Transfer blueberry mixture to a small pan. Simmer for 2 minutes. Serve warm.
