What each ingredient does

Soda biscuit dough
Forms the base layers, providing a tender, lightly crisp structure that holds the fruit.
Strawberries
Add moisture, sweetness and fruity flavour between the biscuit layers.

The step that matters

Serve warm but not hot, or reheat in the oven. Baked biscuits lose their crispness as they cool and soften once the fruit moistens them. Gentle oven reheating restores some crispness and warmth without overcooking the fruit.
