Ingredients
  • 1cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4cup whole-wheat pastry flour
  • 1 1/2teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4teaspoon sea salt
  • 2tablespoons natural cane sugar
  • 3tablespoons very cold unsalted butter
  • 1/2cup plus 2 tablespoons low-fat buttermilk
  • 2pounds fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
  • 1cup vanilla Greek yogurt
  • Whole fresh strawberries, for garnish
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 425˚. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Combine flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Add butter about a teaspoon at a time, using fingers to rub into the flour, until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add buttermilk and stir until ingredients are just blended. Dough should be very moist.
  3. Transfer dough to a generously floured work surface, sprinkle with flour, and knead 8–9 times to make dough smooth and pliable. Pull off eight egg-sized pieces; pat and shape into flat rounds. Place on prepared sheet and bake until golden, 10–12 minutes.
  4. While shortcakes bake, coarsely chop berries and let stand in a bowl (toss with a little sweetener if desired).
  5. Remove biscuits from oven and let cool for 1 minute. Transfer to serving plates. Spoon strawberries over each warm biscuit and top with a dollop of yogurt; or split biscuits crosswise, arrange on plates partly overlapping, and sandwich with berries and yogurt. Serve immediately.
