Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Coat a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
- 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.

- 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.
