I have always loved strawberry shortcake. I think last summer I ate it for a week straight.  But as always, I love to put a new spin on a classic. This cobbler has a sweet berry filling and a shortcake crust. And to top it off the shortcake is made with greek yogurt to cut down on the fat. This is a great summer dessert that everyone will love.

Half or leave strawberries whole if small. Mix with blueberries. When you rinse the berries, make sure to dry thoroughly so that there is no extra liquid.

Add sugar and cornstarch.  The cornstarch will keep the liquid from seeping everywhere and keep the berries intact.

Add flour, sugar, baking powder and baking soda  to food processor. Add cubes of butter and process till butter is incorporated. The texture of the dough should be grainy.

Mix in milk and greek yogurt til a rough batter forms. The batter will be dry, but remember this is more similar to a biscuit dough, so that is ok.

Top the berries with the shortcake dough. With your hands evenly distribute the dough over the berries.
