- ¾ lbs strawberries
- 1/5 tbsp sugar

- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/8 tsp baking soda
- 1 tbsp sugar

- ¾ cup heavy cream
- WHIPPED CREAM INGREDIENTS:
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- 1/5 tbsp sugar

- 1. Mix strawberries with 1.5 tablespoons sugar and refrigerate while juices develop, at least 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, and salt in a medium bowl. Add heavy cream and mix until just combined. Place mixture in an un-greased 4-inch square pan and bake until golden, 18 to 20 minutes.

Cut into 3 pieces and split each piece in half horizontally. Mix all whipped cream ingredients in the metal bowl with metal beaters about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes.
- 3. Spoon some of the strawberries with their juice onto each shortcake bottom. Top with a generous dollop of whipped cream and then the shortcake top. Spoon more strawberries over the top and serve.

- FOR THE SHORTBREAD:
- 225g plain flour
- 100g caster sugar
- 225g butter, at room temperature
- 100g semolina
- 25g demerara sugar
- FOR THE FILLING:
- 500g strawberries, plus extra to garnish
- 1.5 tbsp. port
- 2 tbsp@ caster sugar
- 300ml double cream, whipped to soft peaks
- 300ml thick natural yoghurt
- 2 egg whites, whipped to stiff peaks
Method
- Preheat the oven to 160C/gas2.
- Put the flour and butter into a bowl and rub together, then add the sugar and semolina and work the ingredients together to form a ball of dough,(or use a food processor).
- Roll the dough out on a floured surface to about 0.5cm thick. Using a round cookie cutter, or the top of a glass, cut the dough into circles. Place the circles onto a lightly greased tray and sprinkle with demerara sugar.
- Bake the shortbread for 30-40mins until they are pale golden and cooked through. Dont let it get too brown. Allow to cool for a few minutes then carefully lift each shortbread with a palette knife and place on a wire rack to cool completely. (They can now be stored in an airtight container).
- Meanwhile to make the filling, place the strawberries, port and sugar into a pan and heat gently until the sugar dissolves, stirring and mashing the strawberries into a chunky salsa. Allow to cool.
- Fold together the whipped cream, yoghurt and whipped egg white. Fold in the strawberry salsa, leaving swirls.
- Place one shortbread circle on a plate and place on a large dollop of the strawbeery mix. Cover with another shortbread and slice one whole strawberry on top of each and serve.
