This is a strawberry shortcake. It sounds yummy :-)
Ingredients (6-8 portions)
Strawberry sauce:
1 kg strawberries, washed and cut into pieces (not too small)
75 g sugar
1 T lemon juice
Fresh strawberries:
750 g Strawberries, washed and cut in half, kept in the fridge
Biscuits:
280 g flour
2 ½ t baking powder
1 t salt
1 T sugar
75 g cold butter, cut into small pieces
180 ml cold cream
1 Begin by making the strawberry sauce. Put everything into a small pan, lid on, and cook until it boils. Remove the lid and let simmer for 10 minutes.
2 Prepare the fresh strawberries and set aside in a container in the fridge.
3 Preheat your oven to 225°C. Line a baking sheet with paper.
4 Whisk together the dry ingredients in a large bowl, then blend in the cold butter with your fingertips or a pastry blender until mixture resembles a coarse meal. Add the cold cream and stir just until a dough forms.
5 Put the dough out onto a slightly floured work surface and pat or roll out the dough to 1cm thickness. Use a glass or cookie cutter to cut the dough into portions and place on the baking sheet. Try and cut the pieces very close together so you don't have to re-roll out the dough, which ruins the light texture of it.
6 Bake for 10-12 minutes.
7 Now pack up your items for picnic transport as follows: wrap the biscuits in a cotton towel, take your warm strawberry sauce in one container, the fresh in another. For those of you who like whipped cream, don't forget to pack a can of it.
8 Here is the assembly of the dessert: take a biscuit and but it in half, horizontally. Put the bottom half on a plate, followed by the warm sauce, the fresh berries, the whipped cream and the other biscuit half. Eat and enjoy.
