Ingredients

1. Preheat the oven to 120°C. Place the strawberries on a baking tray lined with baking paper and bake for 1 hour.

3. Cream the butter and sugar. Beat in the flour and mix in the strawberries. Wrap the dough in clingwrap and chill for 30 minutes.

4. Roll out the dough to a thickness of 1 cm between 2 sheets of greaseproof paper.
