Tip

When you put the silicon paper into the tin make sure there is enough overlap over the side that you can pick the slice up by holding the short sides of the silicon paper taut and quickly transferring to a cooling rack.

The shortcake should be brown on the bottom but soft to the bite.

    This shortcake can be served with whipped cream or icecream for dessert, or by itself as a cake. A great tasting alternative to apple or apricot shortcake
