Ingredients

• Low - gluten flour (100 - 120 g)

• Butter (60 - 80 g)

• Powdered sugar (30 - 40 g)

• Yolk (1)

• Salt (1 g)

• Whipping cream (100 - 150 ml)

• Powdered sugar (20 - 30 g)

• Vanilla extract (optional, 2 - 3 drops)

• Strawberries (an appropriate amount, washed, stems removed, cut into small pieces)

• Powdered sugar (for surface decoration, an appropriate amount)

• Black tea powder barbecue seasoning (3g)

Instructions

1. Soften the butter at room temperature, put it in a bowl, add the powdered sugar and salt, and stir with a whisk until the color becomes lighter and fluffy.

2. Add the egg yolk and continue to stir to mix it thoroughly.

3. Sieve the low-gluten flour into a bowl and stir it into a dough with a spatula. Do not over-mix the dough to avoid it becoming glutenous.

4. Put the dough in a plastic bag and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.

5. Take out the refrigerated dough, put it on a floured chopping board, and roll it into a thin sheet. Use a round mold to press the dough into a round of the right size (it can fit into the prepared cup).

6. Place the shortbread rounds in a baking tray and poke some small holes in them with a fork. Preheat the oven to 180°C and bake the baking tray in the oven for 12 - 15 minutes, until the surface of the shortbread is golden. Remove the baking tray and let the shortbread cool.

7. Pour the whipped cream into a clean bowl, add powdered sugar and vanilla extract (if using), and beat with a whisk at low speed until lines appear, then switch to medium speed and beat until the cream has a certain hardness, but do not over-beat it to avoid roughness.

8. First spread a layer of strawberry cubes on the bottom of the shortbread cup.

9. Then use a piping bag to squeeze the whipped cream on the strawberries, or you can use a spoon to scoop the cream and spread it on the strawberries.

10. Then spread another layer of strawberry cubes and repeat the above steps until the cup is almost full.

11. You can put some more strawberry cubes on the top as decoration according to your preference, and sprinkle a little powdered sugar and Black tea powder barbecue seasoning.
