Strawberries taste deliciously indulgent fresh off the vine, but they're even better as part of your favorite dessert. They add a natural sweetness, as well as a healthy dose of nutrients. In fact, just one cup of this superfruit contains more vitamin C than oranges, and plenty of folate and heart-healthy compounds.
These recipes, from Mini Strawberry Shortcakes to Strawberry Crumble, are a tasty way to get started.
Mini Strawberry Shortcakes
Ingredients
- 12 ounces
strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1/2 teaspoon
grated orange zest
- 2 tablespoons
orange juice
- 3 tablespoons
plus 1 tsp. packed light brown sugar
- 1 1/2 cups
(12 oz.) whole-milk vanilla yogurt
- 1/2 cup
all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup
whole-wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon
baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon
baking soda
- 1/8 teaspoon
salt
- 4 tablespoons
chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 1
large egg, lightly beaten
- 2 teaspoons
coarse sugar, optional
Preparation
1. Place a rack in center of oven and preheat to 425ºF. Line a
baking sheet with parchment. In a medium bowl, toss strawberries, orange
zest and juice and 1 tsp. brown sugar. In a small bowl, mix 1 cup
yogurt with 1 Tbsp. brown sugar. Cover and refrigerate.
2. In a
food processor, pulse both flours, remaining 2 Tbsp. brown sugar, baking
powder, baking soda and salt. Add butter and pulse until mixture
resembles sand. Add remaining 1/2 cup yogurt and pulse just until dough
forms. Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and form into a flat
disk about 6 inches by 1/2 inch. Using a floured 2-inch round biscuit
cutter, cut out 4 rounds; press scraps together and form 4 more. Arrange
rounds about 1 1/2 inches apart on prepared baking sheet. Brush tops
with egg; sprinkle with coarse sugar, if desired.
3. Bake until
golden brown on top, about 15 minutes. Let biscuits cool on a wire rack
for 5 minutes. Halve biscuits horizontally; top with reserved sweetened
yogurt, strawberry mixture and biscuit tops. Serve immediately.
