Day 18

Here is a shocking revelation, after 17 days of day I am to be honest growing a tad tired of cake so today called for something a bit different. I found this recipe for Strawberry Short Cakes, the cakes are more like a sweet scone, really rather easy to make. I enjoyed them not being overly sweet and really loved the fresh strawberries in honey.

Strawberry Short Cakes 

2 cups plain flour

3 tablespoon sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

4 tablespoon cold unsalted butter

1 1/3 cups cream

1 large egg (I used egg replacer)

1/3 cup honey

Punnet of strawberries

-       Mix all the dry ingredients in a large bowl.

-       Rub in butter.

-       Add 1/3 cup cream, 1/3 cup water and egg.

  -       Mix together to make    a thick dough.

-       Drop 6 mounds of dough onto lined trays. Brush with cream and sprinkle with sugar.

-       Bake 25min at 180c.

-       When cakes are cooled. Heat 1/3 cup of water and 1/3 cup of water boil for 5min then cool.

-       When cooled at sliced strawberries, leave for at least 30min.

-       To serve, slice the cakes, put  whipped cream on one half and top with strawberries.
