[edit] Description

[edit] Ingredients

• 2 1/4 cups has-ingredient::whole wheat flour
• 2 teaspoons has-ingredient::baking powder
• 1 teaspoon has-ingredient::baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon has-ingredient::salt
• 6 tablespoons cold has-ingredient::unsalted butter, cut into cubes
• 1 cup skim has-ingredient::milk
• Zest of 1/2 orange
• 1 teaspoon has-ingredient::vanilla
• 1 pint has-ingredient::strawberries, sliced
• 1 pint has-ingredient::blueberries
• 3 tablespoons has-ingredient::sugar

[edit] Directions

1. Mix the Berries and Sugar together and let sit for about 4 hours.
2. This helps make the Berries juicy.
3. To make biscuits:
4. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
5. Add the cold butter, then mix (preferably with a paddle attachment) until you have a cornmeal texture.
6. Add 3/4 cup of the milk, vanilla and orange zest and mix until completely combined. (To zest an orange, use a zester, paring knife or vegetable peeler to remove only the colored part of the skin.)
7. Roll out the dough (if desired, roll it out a second time) and cut into circles.
8. Place on a baking sheet, brush the tops with remaining milk, and sprinkle with Sugar.
9. Bake for 10–15 minutes, until golden brown.
10. Assemble the dish:
11. Slice the biscuits in half and place on plates.
12. Spoon some of the berry mixture on the bottom half and top with a dollop of has-ingredient::fat-free whipped cream.
13. Cover with the top half of the biscuit and add some more Berries and whipped cream.
