Whole-Wheat Strawberry Shortcakes image

This traditional dessert has been updated with a combination of whole-wheat and all-purpose flour, which gives the biscuits a slightly nutty and more crumbly texture. The whipped cream and fresh strawberry filling is as classic as ever.

Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup whole-wheat flour
1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for cutting dough
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 cup sugar, plus 3 tablespoons for strawberries
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 3/4 cups heavy cream
3 tablespoons melted butter
3 pints strawberries, trimmed and halved

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Combine flours, baking powder, 1/4 cup sugar, and salt in a bowl. Add 1 1/4 cups cream; combine. Turn out onto a floured surface; knead.
  • When smooth, press dough to about 1 inch thick. Use a 2-inch circle cutter or a glass to cut biscuits, dipping cutter in flour as needed. Press scraps together; cut out remaining biscuits. Dip top of each in melted butter, and transfer to a parchment- lined baking sheet. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until golden.
  • Sprinkle berries with remaining sugar; stir. Whisk remaining 1 1/2 cups cream in a bowl until soft peaks form. Serve biscuits and berries topped with whipped cream.
