Directions
Preheat oven to 400℉ (200℃).
In a mixing bowl, sift together the flours, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, combine ⅓ cup of the sugar with the melted butter until it dissolves.
Stir in the milk, then combine the wet with the dry ingredients and work together to form a soft dough.
Turn the dough out onto a well-floured board and knead for a minute or so.
Divide the dough into 2 equal parts, form into smooth balls, and roll out to to fit the bottom of a pie pan.
Place the rounds of dough in 2 lightly oiled pie pans.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until dough is golden brown.
In the meantime, combine the crushed strawberries with the remaining 3 tablespoon sugar in a small bowl.
Cover until ready to use.
Allow the baked dough to cool until it is just warm to the touch.
Place 1 round on a serving plate, spread it with the berries, and top with the other round of dough.
Cut into wedges to serve; this is best served fresh and warm.
Top each serving with a bit of cold, stiffly beaten heavy cream if you'd like.
