Warm strawberry scrolls FAQ:
Bake the scrolls in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
The scrolls are done when they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. They should also feel firm to the touch.
Yes, you can substitute strawberries with other fruits like raspberries, blueberries, or diced peaches. Adjust the sugar if the substitute fruit is less sweet.
Store any leftover scrolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. You can also refrigerate them for up to a week, but they are best enjoyed fresh.
You can use a baking dish or a parchment-lined baking sheet. Ensure there's enough space between the scrolls for even baking, so a 9x13 inch pan is a good size.
Cooking Tips:
- For best results, use fresh strawberries. If using frozen strawberries, make sure to thaw and drain the excess liquid to avoid making the dough too wet.
- Zest the lemon finely to ensure the zest is evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- If you don't have self-raising flour, you can make your own by combining 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour with 3/4 tsp of baking powder and a pinch of salt.
- Buttermilk can be substituted with a homemade version by mixing 1/3 cup of milk with 1 tsp of lemon juice or white vinegar. Let it sit for a few minutes before using.
- To enhance the flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract to the dough.
- Keep an eye on the baking time as oven temperatures can vary. The scrolls are done when they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
