Strawberry
Ingredients: 3/4
cup
Whole Wheat Flour 3/4
cup
Unbleached flour 1 1/2
teaspoons
Baking Powder 1/2
teaspoon
Salt 1/3
cup
Packed Brown Sugar 2
tablespoons
Butter,
melted
3/4
cup
Lowfat 2% Milk 1
pint
Strawberries,
hulled and crushed
3
tablespoons
Packed Brown Sugar
Heavy Cream,
optional
Directions:
1.
Preheat oven to 400 deg F.
2.
In a mixing bowl, sift together the flours, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, combine 1/3 cup of brown sugar with the melted butter until it dissolves. Stir in the milk, then combine the wet with the dry ingredients and work together to form a soft dough. Turn the dough out onto a well-floured board and knead for a minute or so. Divide the dough into 2 equal parts, form into smooth balls, and roll out to to fit the bottom of a pie pan. Place the rounds of dough in 2 lightly oiled pie pans. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until dough is golden brown.
3.
In the meantime, combine the crushed strawberries with the remaining 3 T brown sugar in a small bowl. Cover until ready to use.
4.
Allow the baked dough to cool until it is just warm to the touch. Place 1 round on a serving plate, spread it with the berries, and top with the other round of dough. Cut into wedges to serve; this is best served fresh and warm. Top each serving with a bit of cold, stiffly beaten heavy cream if you'd like.
