Total Time

1 1/4 hours

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4cups white whole-wheat flour
  • 1 1/4cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2cup sugar
  • 2teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4teaspoon salt
  • 5tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1large egg
  • 1cup reduced-fat milk
  • 1teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3cups sliced fresh strawberries
  • 1/3cup lemon curd
  • 1/2cup whipped cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Coat a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
  2. Whisk whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Add butter; with your fingers, quickly rub it into the dry ingredients until the pieces are smaller but still visible. Whisk egg, milk and vanilla in a small bowl; add to the dry ingredients and stir with a fork just until the batter comes together.
  3. Scoop a generous 3 tablespoons batter into each muffin cup. Bake until puffed and golden at the edges, 14 to 18 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool for 15 minutes more.
  4. Meanwhile, combine strawberries and lemon curd in a medium bowl.
  5. Split the shortcakes in half and serve each with 1/4 cup of the strawberries and about 2 teaspoons whipped cream.

Tips

Try white whole-wheat flour in place of all-purpose flour in baked goods. It’s made from hard white wheat berries, which makes it lighter in color and flavor than regular whole-wheat flour, but with the same nutritional properties. For the best flavor, store it airtight in the freezer.

Store cooled shortcakes airtight for up to 1 day; reheat in a 250°F oven just before serving if desired.
