Ingredients
 
 

  • 225 grams flour
  • 2 egg yolks lightly beaten
  • 5 tbsp butter or margarine
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 150 ml milk
  • 3 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt

Filling

  • fresh strawberries halved and sugared
  • ½ the juice of a lemon
  • softened butter

Instructions
 

  • Sift the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar into a mixing bowl.
  • Work in the butter or margarine with a fork or the fingers, then add the milk and eggs, little at a time, until the mixture holds its shape but it still soft.
  • Stir continuously with the fork.
  • Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and roll out into 4 rounds.
  • Place the rounds on greased baking sheets and bake in the oven at 220ºC (420°F) until lightly golden, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Allow to cool slightly.
  • Combine the fresh strawberries with a little sugar and the lemon juice in a bowl.
  • Split each shortcake round in half carefully with a knife and spread each half on one side with softened butter.
  • Place one round, buttered side up, on a plate, spoon some of the strawberry mixture on top.
  • Repeat until all the filling and all the shortcake rounds have been used up, ending with a layer of strawberries.
  • Serve warm with whipped cream.
