Gluten - Free Strawberry Shortcake

Protein-packed almond flour adds a moist buttery texture while coconut flour contributes a wonderful layer of flavour along with a boost of fiber. in place of the usual heavy cream or milk, ive swapped in greek yogurt which adds a nice buttermilk like tang

1/3 cup almond flour
2 tbsp coconut flour
2tsp baking powder
6 tsbp frozen unsalted butter
6 ox greek yogurt
whipped coconut cream for serving

method:
1. place the strawberries in a bowl and sprinkle with the lemond juice and 1 tbsp sugar, gently toss and let sit for 30 minutes.
2. meanwhile, preheat the oven to 180 degrees C, in a food processor, combine the gluten free flour, almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda and 2 tbsp of coconut sugar. add the butter and pulse until coarse crumbs form.
