3/4 c Whole Wheat Flour
3/4 c Unbleached White Flour
1 1/2 ts Baking Powder
1/2 ts Salt
1/3 c Plus 3T Brown Sugar (Packed)
2 tb Butter, Melted
3/4 c Low-Fat Milk
1 pt Strawberries *
* Sweet, ripe strawberries, hulled and crushed Heavy Cream (optional).

Preheat oven to 400?F. In a mixing bowl, sift together the flours, baking
powder, and salt. In another bowl, combine 1/3 cup of the 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. In the
meantime, combine the crushed strawberries with the remaining 3 T sugar in
a small bowl. Cover until ready to use. 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.
