Strawberry Shortcake

A traditional light and Summery dessert that is quick and easy to make. It can be great fun when assisted by the kids. To reduce calories why not replace the double cream with crème fraiche. Great for parties where you can swap the strawberries for any other fruit to suit everyone’s taste buds.

Shortcake mixture:

• 175g butter
• 75g cane sugar
• 175g plain flour
• 75g ground rice

• 200ml double cream (lightly whipped) or crème fraiche
• 250g strawberries (halved)

Preheat the oven to 150oC/300oF or Gas Mark 2

Soften the butter and beat in the sugar in a large bowl. Slowly mix in the flour and ground rice until a soft dough is formed.

On a floured surface roll out the dough and then place it into a cake tin or flan dish, gently pressing into the base. Prick the base liberally with a fork. Place in the oven and bake for 1hour 10 minutes until pale golden brown.

Whilst still hot mark out the sections with a sharp knife, or for individual cakes cut out shapes with a pastry cutter. Leave to cool.

Once the shortcake is cold lift out the sections, spread with cream and decorate with strawberries.

Serve straight away and enjoy!
