  • 3/4 cup (150g) self-raising wholemeal flour
  • 1/8 cup (25g) ground rice
  • 1/4 cup (50g) unrefined light muscovado sugar
  • 1 lemon zest (finely grated)

  • 1 tsp almond extract
  • 1 cup (200g) raspberries
  • 1 tbsp unrefined golden icing sugar

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan, gas mark 6).

2. Put the wholemeal self-raising flour into a processor with the ground rice, light muscovado sugar, and lemon zest.

3. Add the butter and blitz for a few seconds until the mixture turns into crumbs

4. Continue blending until the dough becomes a ball.

5. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface and stamp out 6 heart shapes using a 5cm cutter (or use other fun shapes).

6. Place the shortcake shapes onto a greased baking sheet.

7. Bake for 15 minutes until the shortcake is pale brown and thoroughly cooked through.

8. Remove the shortcake pieces from the tray and let them cool on a wire rack.

9. Whilst the cookies are cooling, mix together the mascarpone cheese, golden caster sugar, and almond extract.

10. Split the shortcakes and serve with a generous dollop of mascarpone, some raspberries and a sprinkling of golden icing sugar.

We wish everyone an amazing beginning to the decade!!
