Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 450F spray baking sheet with cooking spray. Set aside.
Step 2
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, and baking powder. Stir in the orange zest. Using a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut the butter into the flour mixture until coarse crumbs form. Quickly stir in the milk until a soft dough forms.
Step 3
On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to an 1/2 inch thickness. Using a 2 1/2 inch biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits. Gather trimmings, re-roll and cut out more biscuits. Place on prepared baking sheet. Bake until golden, about 12 to 15 minutes. Place biscuits on a wire rack and cool slightly.
Step 4
To prepare filling, in a large bowl, combine strawberries, orange juice and sugar. Mix well.
Step 5
split warm biscuits in half horizontally. Place bottom halves on serving plates. Top each with some filling. Cover with biscuit tops. Serve with remaining filling, garnish with yogurt and mint.
