Útmutatók

Preheat Oven to 180C

To prepare the base, cream the butter, sugar and essence for 4 minutes until pale and creamy

Add egg and mix well

Add dry ingredients (it says to sift but I never do...)

Pour into a slice tin or square 25cm tin (or as original recipe states 2 sandwich tins)

Bake for 13 minutes until light golden brown on top

Set aside to cool

To Prepare the marshmallow - boil water, gelatine and jelly crystals in a large pot on the stove top - for 8 minutes

Add sugar and stir well to dissolve it all and remove from the heat and allow to cool completely.

Beat with electric mixers until thick but not too stiff and unable to be spread - this can take up to 5 minutes

(Optional spread Jam over shortcake if desired)

Pour marshmallow over the base and pop in the fridge to set - for approx. 2 hours

Slice and store in the fridge in an airtight container.
