Ingredients
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
Dash salt
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup lowfat buttermilk
1 slightly beaten egg yolk
Nonstick cooking spray
1/2 of an 8-ounce package fat free cream cheese, softened
1 6-ounce carton plain nonfat yogurt
3 tablespoons low-sugar strawberry preserves
1 1/2 cups fresh boysenberries, raspberries, and/or blackberries
Directions
1. For shortcakes, in a medium bowl stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in center of flour mixture. In a small bowl combine buttermilk and egg yolk. Add to flour mixture all at once, stirring just until moistened.
2. Lightly coat a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray; set aside. On a lightly floured surface, pat or roll dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Using a floured 2- to 3-inch cookie cutter, cut dough into 4 desired shaped shortcakes, rerolling scraps as necessary. Place on prepared baking sheet. Bake in a 425 degree oven for 7 to 8 minutes or until golden. Cool on a wire rack.
3. In a medium bowl beat cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed for 30 seconds. Gradually beat in yogurt and preserves until smooth.
4. Divide shortcakes among 4 dessert plates; top with fresh fruit and yogurt mixture. Serve immediately.
