  2. 75 gunsalted butter (cold)
  3. 4tblsp milk
  4. 3tblsp caster (superfine) sugar

  6. 1egg, beaten
  7. 1/2 tspvanilla extract
  8. Icing sugar for dusting
  9. For the filling
  10. 350 gfresh strawberries
  11. 284 mlwhipping cream
  12. 2tblsp icing sugar

Cooking Instructions

10-15min
  1. 1

    Sift the flour and baking powder into a bowl. Add the butter and rub together until you achieve the texture of fine breadcrumbs.
    Add in the sugar and mix well.
    Make a well in the centre of the mixture and add the egg, milk and vanilla extract. Mix to make a soft dough.

  2. 2

    Place the dough on a floured surface and press/roll out to 8" (20cm) in diameter. Transfer to a lightly greased baking sheet and bake at 200°C for 10-15 minutes until firm and golden. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
    Whip the cream with icing sugar and hull the strawberries (remove the leaves and a small cone from the top of the strawberry), then cut the strawberries in small chunks.

  3. 3

    Once the shortcake has cooled slice it in half with a very sharp bread knife. Take the top half and carefully cut it into 8 or 12 equal segments.
    Spread a layer of cream on the bottom half of the shortcake and place a leyer of strawberries chunks on top.

  4. 4

    Spread another layer of cream and add another layer of strawberries. Keep 8 or 12 pieces of strawberry back for decorating the top of the cake.
    Spread the remaining cream onto the filling. Carefully place the shortcake segments on top of the cake.
    Dust with icing sugar and place a slice of strawberry on each segment. Dust lightly once more with icing sugar and serve.

  5. 5

    #Tips

    If your dough is a bit sticky simply add a tablsp of flour into the mixture and it should come together very well.

    You can hide any small holes in the top of your finished shortcake with a sprig of mint.
