  Total Time:

  Serves: makes 8 servings

Cake:
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 Tbsp. granulated sugar
1 Tbsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. grated orange zest
3 Tbsp. unsalted butter or margarine, cut into pieces
3/4 cup skim milk

Filling:
2 pints fresh strawberries, sliced
1 Tbsp. orange juice
1 Tbsp. granulated sugar
whipped cream or vanilla yogurt and mint leaves for garnish

1. Preheat oven to 450 deg. Spray a baking sheet with vegetable cooking spray. Set aside.

2. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar and baking powder. Stir in the orange zest. Using a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut the butter into the flour mixture until coarse crumbs form. Quickly stir in the milk until a soft dough forms.

3. On a lightly floured surface roll out dough to a 1/2 inch thickness. Using a 2 1/2 inch biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits. Gather trimmings, re-roll, and cut out more biscuits. Place on prepared baking sheet. Bake until golden, about 12 to 15 minutes. Place biscuits on a wire rack and cool slightly.

4. To prepare filling, in a large bowl, combine strawberries, orange juice, and sugar. Mix well.

5. Split warm biscuits in half horizontally. Place bottom halves on serving plates. Top each with some filling. Cover with biscuit tops. Serve with remaining filling garnish with whipped cream or yogurt and mint .
