Seive wholewheat flour and ground peanuts with 2 tbsp icing sugar add butter and mix well to make a crumbly texture.Combine them well with ice water to make a soft dough.Wrap the dough with cling film and keep it in fridge not freezer for 30 mins.

Take out from fridge and roll flat sprinkling with some flour on top in  1/2 inch thick and cut a big roundel using a cutter.........

Meanwhile.......

Preheat the oven at 170°c/350°f

Place the flattened short cake in a baking tray and bake for 12-15 mins or till it turns light brown.

Remove from oven and cool them.In the meantime prepare the cherry topping and make the whipped cream..

Cherry topping:

In a pan add tinned/fresh cherries,caster sugar,nutmeg powder,cocoa powder,lemon/orange juice,vanilla essence cook till the cherries mashes well and reserve.

To assemble the short cake place a shortcake in a plate and fill the cherry topping in the middle then pipe some cream on the sides of the cake.You can decorate as you wish and enjoy the christmas treat......!!!!!!!!!Smiley












Note:


Dont hesitate if you dont have medium sized cutter,you can also use any round boxes to make the shape.

I've rolled and cut the dough and then kept in fridge becoz it will be very firm  when we take out from fridge.Obviously the dough will crack when rolling adjust it with flour.Preheating is approximately done for 10 minutes.Bake the short cake according to your oven temperature more or less than 15 mins.You can use plain flour instead of whole wheat flour and almond instead of peanut
