For this shortcake, I have combined some apple with the strawberries. No sprinkling of sugar required; simply top with the second half of your mix and bake. I love to serve this warm or eat cold the following day. In fact, the flavours get even better the day after.
Ingredients
150 g | Butter, softened |
½ cup | Brown sugar |
1 | Egg |
2 cups | Self raising flour |
3 | Apples, peeled and thinly sliced |
250 g | Strawberries, hulled and sliced (Main) |
Directions
- Preheat an oven to 180C. Grease the base of a 23cm tin.
- Cream the butter and sugar until creamy. Add the egg and beat through.
- Fold through the flour. Spread half the mixture onto the base of your tin.
- Layer over the base the apples and strawberries. Spoon over the remaining dough, spreading carefully with a fork. It doesn't matter if there are holes. Place into the oven for 50 minutes until cooked through. Remove and cool slightly before serving.
- Serve dusted with icing sugar, whipped cream or icecream.
