Are you looking for a yummy summer treat that isn’t overloaded with sugar? How about one that’s so easy and fun to make that your kids would love to help? This strawberry shortcake recipe is a sure winner with parents and kids alike.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 C. All purpose Flour
• 1/2 C. Whole Wheat Flour
• 2 tsp Baking Powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 C. sugar
• 2/3 C. Milk (or unsweetened soy milk)
• Strawberries (or frozen mixed fruit)
• Some extra sugar (use sparingly)
• Whipped topping of choice

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 415 degrees.
2. Mix the dry ingredients (first 5 on the list). In a large bowl
3. In a separate bowl mix the milk and oil together so that they are combined and not separated.
4. Use a fork to gently add the liquid mixture to your dry ingredients. Be careful not to over-mix.
5. Place batter in round biscuit shapes on a cookie sheet. (You should end up with about 10 large biscuits)
6. Bake for about 20 minutes.
7. While the biscuits are baking, cut up your strawberries.
8. As you cut them, mix them with a little sugar in a bowl, then let them sit in the fridge for a few minutes. This will bring out their juices.
9. When your biscuits are cooled and your fruit is chilled, build your shortcake by breaking the biscuit up into a bowl, adding fruit and topping with a little whipped topping. - YUM!
