3 tablespoons chilled stick margarine or butter -- cut into small

1/2 cup low-fat buttermilk

6 tablespoons frozen reduced-calorie whipped topping -- thawed

squares. Place 1 inch apart on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake

at 425 degrees for 12 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.

 

5. Split shortcakes in half horizontally using a serrated knife; place each

bottom half on a dessert plate. Spoon 1/4 cup strawberry mixture over each

bottom half. Top with shortcake tops; spoon 1/4 cup strawberry mixture over

each top. Top each serving with 1 tablespoon whipped topping; garnish with

whole strawberries, if desired. Yield: 6 servings.
