Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

  • 1 ½ cups white whole-wheat flour

  • 1 tablespoon white sugar

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter

  • ¾ cup low-fat buttermilk

  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce

  • 12 (6 inch) bamboo skewers

  • 1 quart fresh strawberries, hulled and halved horizontally

  • ¾ cup low-fat frozen whipped topping (such as Cool Whip® Lite), thawed (Optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or spray with cooking spray.

  2. Mix flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl; cut in cold butter using a pastry blender or your hands until crumbly.

  3. Stir buttermilk and applesauce together in a separate bowl; pour into the flour mixture until dough comes together and is sticky. Using 2 spoons, drop dough into about 1/2 tablespoon-size mounds onto the prepared baking sheet, making 36 total mounds.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until the bottoms are slightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Cool biscuits.

  5. Thread 3 biscuits onto each skewer, alternating with 3 strawberries halves, until all the ingredients are used. Top each skewer with whipped topping.

Cook's Notes:

If you can't find 6-inch skewers and need to cut them in half, use a pair of pliers that can cut wood or wire instead of scissors or breaking them in half by hand. They're called skewers for a reason!
