SHORTBREAD WITH STRAWBERRIES



Shortbread with strawberries image

Lightly sweet, delicately flavoured and beautifully buttery!

Provided by Nancy Anne Harbord

Number Of Ingredients 8

40 g rolled oats
90 g plain flour
15 g cornflour
40 g icing sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
100 g unsalted butter (cold (coconut fat for vegan))
200 ml double cream (optional)
20 strawberries

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 230c. Powder oats in a blender. Add the flour, cornflour, sugar and salt and pulse to combine. Add the butter/coconut fat and mix on low speed until a dough forms. I used a high-powered blender and this worked perfectly - the dough came together in less than a minute.
  • Lightly flour a work surface and roll out just over 1cm thick. Cut out shapes with a biscuit cutter (I used one about 6cm wide). Transfer to a baking tray - it does not need to be either greased or non-stick.
  • Bake for 5 minutes, then turn the oven down to 120c. Bake for a further 10-15 minutes longer, until the edges turn lightly golden. Turn off the oven, prop open the oven door a little with a wooden spoon and leave the shortbread to dry until it is pale golden in the centre (about an hour). Cool on a wire rack.

Time 1h35m

Yield 9

Number Of Ingredients 12

½ cup unsalted butter, softened
⅓ cup white sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
3 ½ cups sliced fresh strawberries
¼ cup white sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 ½ tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons strawberry jam

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line an 8x8-inch pan with enough parchment paper to have an overhang on all sides.
  • Beat butter and sugar together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla; beat until thoroughly combined. Mix in flour, salt, and baking soda until just combined. Using floured hands, press dough evenly into the prepared pan.
  • Bake until edges of the crust just begin to brown, 12 to 16 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
  • Place sliced strawberries into a large bowl. Add sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Toss to combine. Pour strawberries evenly over the crust. Place pan back into the oven and bake until strawberries have softened, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool to room temperature in the pan.
  • Place strawberry jam in a small microwave-safe bowl and heat in the microwave for 15 seconds, or until slightly runny. Brush melted jam over the top of strawberries, and allow the bars to finish cooling completely in the pan. Carefully lift bars out of the pan using the parchment edges, and cut into 9 bars. Store in the refrigerator.

STRAWBERRY SHORTBREAD AND CREAM



Strawberry Shortbread and Cream image

In this summery dessert, golden-edged cookies are paired with syrupy strawberries and fluffy whipped cream for a result that's a bit like strawberry shortcake, but crunchier and a lot more buttery. These cookies have a little more sugar than most shortbread recipes, so they're especially crisp, but since they are on the sweet side, use a light hand when adding sugar to the berries. You just need enough to get the juices flowing. A few pinches should do it. And if you use cultured butter, the cookies will be even richer.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings, plus extra shortbread

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup/225 grams unsalted butter (2 sticks), preferably cultured (European-style), at room temperature
3/4 cup/150 grams granulated sugar
1 egg yolk
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise and seeded with the tip of a knife, or 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon orange blossom water or grated orange zest (optional)
2 cups/255 grams all-purpose flour
1 pint strawberries, sliced
Granulated sugar, to taste
1 cup/240 milliliters heavy cream

Steps:

  • Using an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or an electric hand mixer, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in egg yolk, salt, vanilla seeds and orange blossom water, if using. Beat in flour until smooth, scraping the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula.
  • Scrape the dough onto a 12-inch-long piece of plastic wrap and form it into a log, 1 1/2 inches in diameter. It will be very sticky, so use the plastic wrap to help form the log (or make two shorter logs if that's easier). Then wrap it up and chill until it's thoroughly cold, at least 3 hours (and up to 5 days).
  • When ready to bake, heat oven to 350 degrees and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or nonstick liners.
  • Unwrap the dough log and slice it into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Arrange them on the prepared baking sheets and bake until the cookies are golden at the edges, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer baking sheets to a wire rack to cool completely. Cookies can be bake up to 4 days ahead and stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
  • When ready to serve, sprinkle strawberries with a little sugar and let them sit for 15 minutes to release their juices.
  • Using an electric mixer fitted with the whisk, or a whisk and elbow grease, whip the cream, adding a teaspoon or two of sugar, if you like. Note that the cookies are very sweet so you may not want to add any sugar at all.
  • Spoon the strawberries into serving bowls and top with whipped cream. Drizzle cream with juices from the strawberry bowl. Tuck a cookie or two in each bowl and serve with spoons.
