Strawberry Shortcakes For Macmillan
- Position oven shelves towards the top of the oven. Preheat oven to 200°C/fan oven 180°C/Gas Mark 6. Lightly grease two baking trays with a little Trex.
- Beat egg and sugar together using a wooden spoon.
- Put Trex into a mixing bowl with 150g flour and the salt. Beat together with a wooden spoon until smooth and creamy. Gradually beat in the egg and sugar mixture. Add the remaining flour and polenta or semolina, and mix together to make a smooth dough.

- Bake for 16-18min until light golden brown. Cool for a few min on the trays, then transfer to a wire rack.
- When ready to serve, top the shortcakes with spoonfuls of clotted cream and strawberries, then sprinkle with icing sugar.
