Description

These Orange Shortcakes offer a lighter twist on the classic summer dessert. Made with reduced-fat pancake mix and fresh orange juice, they bake up tender and slightly sweet without being heavy. The key is using fresh-squeezed orange juice and zest to infuse the dough with vibrant citrus aroma. Served warm, they are split and layered with raspberry jam, juicy orange slices, and a generous dollop of whipped topping. This dish is perfect for a spring brunch, a light evening treat, or any time you crave something fruity and refreshing. Its easy to assemble and feels indulgent while remaining mindful of dietary points.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F (175C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the pancake mix and 1 teaspoon of the sugar.
  3. In a separate small bowl, combine the fresh-squeezed orange juice and 1/2 cup low-fat milk.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; do not overmix.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat into a circle about 1/2 inch thick.
  6. Use a biscuit cutter or glass to cut out 6 rounds.
  7. Place the biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. While the shortcakes bake, prepare the whipped topping according to package directions.
  9. Peel and slice the oranges into half-cartwheels.
  10. Once baked, split each shortcake in half horizontally.
  11. Spoon raspberry jam onto the bottom halves.
  12. Top with orange slices and a dollop of whipped topping.
  13. Replace the top halves and garnish with fresh mint or raspberries if desired. Serve immediately.
