Method

step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas mark 4. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
step 2
In a large bowl, beat together the butter (125 g) and sugar (4 tbsp) using a wooden spoon, until well combined. Sieve in the flour (180 g), add a good grinding of freshly ground black pepper (about 20 turns of the peppermill) and slowly mix to form a soft dough.
step 3
Put the dough onto the baking sheet and roll out with a rolling pin to make a 20cm round. Prick the circle all over with a fork and pinch all around the edge to make a fluted pattern. Using a sharp knife, score the top into wedges, cutting no more than a quarter of the way down the dough.
step 4
Bake in the middle of the oven for 30-35 minutes until lightly golden. The biscuit will feel very soft at this stage, but it will set once cooled. Sprinkle immediately with caster sugar and set aside to cool on a wire rack.
step 5
Put the double cream (200 ml) and lemon curd (11 1/2 tbsp) into a bowl and whisk until the cream just holds its shape. Snap the shortbread into triangles and serve with the lemon curd cream and strawberries (230 g).
