Bingo-wing-busting Gluten-free Strawberry shortbread sandwich!

After accidentally double-buying strawberries I was looking for a non-jam related way of using them up and came across this recipe for shortbread (which I love) with an intriguing technique - that's the bingo-wing-busting bit!

For the gluten-free bit I just substituted gluten-free self raising flour which seemed to work fine!  As this calls for cup measurements, I used my pampered chef dry measure which works brilliantly in these situations!

After creaming the butter for AGES I added the sugar and egg yolks and beat well again.  

I then slowly added in the gluten-free flour and blended.  I then packaged the dough up in two batches and put in the freezer.

Now comes the bingo-wing-busting bit....you have to grate the first half into the tin and press down then top with the filling - here is where I used the sliced strawberries rather than the jam filling in the original recipe.  Make sure to leave about 2cm boarder with now filling so it doesn't burn.

Then grate the second batch of dough over the top (maybe after a little rest for the burning arm!) and bake.

As I'm a little out of practice at the whole blogging thing I totally forgot to take a photo of the shortbread sliced but it was really delicious! Definitely one for a plate and fork though, quite crumbly texture due to the grating and the gluten free flour - would make a great pudding I think!
