Preheat oven to 180 ºC. SHORTCAKE: Cream butter until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Gradually beat in icing sugar, mixing well. Mix in flour and salt and press mixture lightly together to make a dough. Roll out dough to 1 cm thick and cut out 8 rounds, each 10 cm in diameter, using a biscuit cutter. Transfer to a greased baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, or until firm but still pale in colour. Remove from oven and cool slightly on baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack and cool completely. Meanwhile, toss strawberries in sugar and allow to stand for 30 minutes. Beat cream, vanilla essence and apple jelly until stiff. TO ASSEMBLE: For each serving, place 1 shortcake biscuit on a plate and cover with strawberries. Top with another biscuit, then another layer of strawberries. Top with flavoured cream.

Tip of the day

Buttermilk substitute
If your recipe calls for buttermilk, but you don't have any, add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to 1 cup of milk, then let it stand for 5 minutes before using.
