125 g

plain white flour
30 g

Whey Protein Vanilla
1 tbsp

baking powder
0.25 tsp

salt
50 g

unsalted butter, cold cubed
180 g

0% fat Greek yogurt
4 tbsp

skimmed milk, plus some for brushing
1 tbsp

caster sugar (optional)

Preparation

1

Preheat the oven to 180C fan (200C non-fan) and line a baking tray with baking paper.
2

Combine both types of flour, protein powder, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl, stirring to mix well. Add the butter and use your fingertips to rub it into the dry ingredients until no large lumps of butter remain.
3

Mix the yogurt and milk together then pour into the bowl of flour mixture and stir gently to combine into a slightly sticky dough.
4

Tip the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and dust the top with a bit more flour. Pat the dough out so it’s around 2cm thick. Cut into 6 scones using a 7cm cutter (or a glass), re-rolling the scraps as needed.
5

Transfer to the lined baking tray. Brush with some milk, sprinkle on caster sugar (if using) and bake for 12-17 minutes, until golden brown.
6

For the filling, whisk the cream in a medium bowl until you get soft peaks. Stir in the yogurt and protein powder until smooth.
7

Serve the shortcakes cut in half, filled with the yogurt-cream and sliced strawberries.
