Ingredients
Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas mark 6.
Combine the strawberries, honey and orange juice in a bowl, and leave to stand at room temperature for 1 hour.
Sift all the dry ingredients together into a bowl. Add the orange zest, butter and shortening, and work into the flour mixture thoroughly.
Using a fork, lightly mix in the sour cream to form a soft dough. Roll the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface until 2.5cm/1in thick, and cut into four circles. Put on ungreased baking parchment on a baking tray, and bake in the oven for about 20 minutes until cgolden.
To serve, whip the cream into soft peaks. Top each shortcake with the berry mixture, and serve with a dollop of whipped cream.
