Granny's soft fruit griddle cakes
You can use any soft fruits like strawberries, raspberries or blackberries for this recipe.
What you need
- For the pastry
- 50 g block margarine, diced
- 100 g plain flour, sifted
- 6 tsp cold water
- For the filling
- 225 g strawberries
- 25-50 g caster sugar, to taste
- For dredging
- 1-2 tsp caster sugar
Method
Rub the fat into the flour until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add enough cold water to make a smooth, but not sticky dough.
Roll out the dough on a very lightly floured surface. Cut out 8 x 13 cm rounds.
In the centre of each round place about 25 g soft fruit and sprinkle with a little of the sugar. Brush the edges of the pastry with a little water. Seal edges well and crimp together.
Grease a griddle or heavy based frying pan. Preheat for about 4 min. Cook the cakes for about 4 min each side until golden.
When cooked, quickly dredge with a little of the remaining sugar and serve.
Serving suggestion
Lashings of hot custard, cream or fromage frais.
