Prepare Ahead
Keep a couple of strawberries to decorate your shortcakes before serving.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 150°C/300°F/Gas 2. Line 2 baking sheets with non-stick baking parchment.
- Place the softened spread in a bowl with the caster sugar. Beat together until pale and fluffy. Gradually sift in the flour and cornflour and mix to a pliable dough.
- Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface and, using an 8cm round cutter, stamp out 16 circles. Lift onto the baking sheets and prick patterns on the circles with a fork.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes until pale golden, then remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
- To assemble, whip the cream until it forms soft peaks and fold in the yogurt.
- Lift half the shortbread circles onto a serving plate and add a dollop of the creamy mixture and the sliced strawberries. Arrange the other half of the shortbread circles on top at an angle. Dust with icing sugar and add a couple of whole strawberries to serve.
