Philips HD2237 - Blueberry and Coconut Shortcake

Blueberry and coconut shortcake
A shortcake is similar to a scone and, just like a scone, it’s best served with jam and
cream. Whether you apply a liberal dollop of cream rst or lead with a spoonful of jam
is entirely up to you. The results will be equally delicious.

Preparation time 15 minutes
Baking time 20–25 minutes (see Cook’s note)
Ingredients
2 tbsp desiccated coconut
1 cup (250ml) milk
3 cups (450g) self-raising our
1 tsp baking powder
60g cold butter, chopped
⅓ cup brown sugar
½ cup fresh or thawed frozen blueberries
Berry jam, whipped cream and icing sugar, to serve
Method
1. Place coconut into a bowl and pour over the milk. Set aside. Sift the our and the baking powder into a large bowl.
Add the butter and rub in with your ngertips until the mixture resembles ne breadcrumbs, add brown sugar and
blueberries. Mix well.
2. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and pour in the coconut and milk. Mix with a at-bladed knife. Turn onto a
lightly oured surface and knead briey.
3. Shape into a 20cm round and, using a at-bladed knife, mark into 8 wedges.
4. Spray the base and sides of the inner pot with canola oil. Transfer the shortcake to the cooker.
5. Close the lid. Select BAKE program, set time for 20 minutes and press START.
6. When cooking is complete, stand for 5 minutes. Turn pressure regulator to VENT. Remove lid. Using heat-proof mitts,
remove the inner pot, place onto a cooling rack for 5 minutes.
7. To turn out the shortcake, place the provided rack upside down into the pot and invert onto the work surface. Slip the
shortcake onto a board.
8. Cool for 5 minutes before cutting into marked wedges. Split and serve with berry jam, whipped cream and a dust of icing
sugar. Shortcake is best eaten on the day it’s made.

and surface is springy to touch.
If the cake requires additional cooking time, select BAKE program, set time for 10 minutes and press START. Check after 5
minutes, cancel remaining time if necessary.
