Directions:
- Mix yeast and hot water in small bowl; let stand 5 minutes. Combine flour, oats, 1-3/4 teaspoons Equal® for Recipes, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in medium bowl; cut in margarine with pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir buttermilk and yeast mixture into flour mixture, making a moderately stiff dough. Knead dough on lightly floured surface 3 to 4 times. Let dough rise, covered, in warm place until almost doubled in size, 15 to 20 minutes. Punch dough down.
- Roll dough on lightly floured surface to 1/2 inch thickness; cut into hearts or other shapes with 3-inch cutter. Bake on greased cookie sheet in preheated 400°F oven until biscuits are browned, about 20 minutes.
- Sprinkle strawberries with 1-1/2 teaspoons Equal® for Recipes. Split warm biscuits and place on plates; spoon strawberries over. Garnish with dollops of whipped topping and mint sprigs.
