All-American Shortcake

==Ingredients==
* 2¼ cups whole wheat flour
* 2 teaspoons baking powder
* 1 teaspoon baking soda
* ½ teaspoon salt
* 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
* 1 cup skim milk
* zest of ½ orange
* 1 teaspoon vanilla
* 1 pint strawberries, sliced
* 1 pint blueberries
* 3 tablespoons sugar
==Directions==
# Mix the berries and sugar together and let sit for about 4 hours.
# This helps make the berries juicy.
# To make biscuits:.
# Pre-heat oven to 350 °F.
# In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
# Add the cold butter, then mix (preferably with a paddle attachment) until you have a cornmeal texture.
# Add ¾ cup of the milk, vanilla and orange zest and mix until completely combined (to zest an orange, use a zester, paring knife or vegetable peeler to remove only the colored part of the skin).
# Roll out the dough (if desired, roll it out a second time) and cut into circles.
# Place on a baking sheet, brush the tops with remaining milk, and sprinkle with sugar.
# Bake for 10–15 minutes, until golden brown.
=== Assembly ===
# Slice the biscuits in half and place on plates.
# Spoon some of the berry mixture on the bottom half and top with a dollop of fat-free whipped cream.
# Cover with the top half of the biscuit and add some more berries and whipped cream.
