Recipe adapted from Food Network Kitchen
Total time: 1 hr 20 min
Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients
*Ingredients currently available at the farmers’ market

Shortcakes:
● 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
● 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
● 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
● 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
● 3 tablespoons cold salted butter*, cut into small pieces
● 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
● 1 large egg*, slightly beaten
● 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon low-fat buttermilk*

Filling:
● 4 cups strawberries*, hulled and sliced
● 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
● 1 tablespoon orange juice
● 1 c. heavy whipping cream
● 1/2 c. plain Greek yogurt*
● 2–3 Tbs honey*

Instructions
1. For the shortcakes: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment.
2. Combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Add the butter and work it into the flour mixture with your fingers until it resembles a coarse meal.
3. Whisk together the lemon zest, egg, and 1/2 cup of the buttermilk in a small bowl. Add to the flour mixture and lightly mix with your hands or a spoon until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. With lightly floured hands, gently pat the dough into a 7­inch round about 1/2 inch thick. Cut into 8 equal wedges. Space the shortcakes evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the remaining 1 tablespoon buttermilk. Bake until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes.
4. For the filling: Combine the strawberries, granulated sugar, and orange juice in a large bowl. Let stand until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is syrupy, about 15 minutes.
5. Pour whipping cream, Greek yogurt, and honey into a mixing bowl. Mix on medium speed until soft peaks form. Taste and add more honey to match your preferences.
6. Split the shortcakes. Place the bottom halves of the shortcakes on plates and top evenly with the strawberry mixture and yogurt. Cover with the shortcake tops.
