INGREDIENTS:
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour 2 tablespoons granulated sugar 1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon grated orange peel 3 tablespoons unsalted butter or margarine, cut into pieces 2 pints fresh strawberries, sliced
1 tablespoon orange juice 3/4 cup skin milk 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Vanilla yogurt, nonfat mint leaves


1 Preheat oven to 450 F. 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 peel. 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 1/4-inch biscuit cutter, cut out 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 tips. Serve with remaining filling; garnish with yogurt and mint.
