- 750g gooseberries , washed, topped and tailed
- 100g caster sugar
- 1 tsp grated root ginger
- 3 tbsp elderflower cordial
- 140g plain flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 25g butter
- 25g caster sugar

- Make the topping. Sift the flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt into a mixing bowl. Rub in the butter until the mixture looks like breadcrumbs, then stir in the caster sugar. Mix in the buttermilk to give a soft, sticky dough. Dollop spoonfuls on top of the gooseberries, then sprinkle with the demerara. Bake for 25 mins or until golden brown and crusty.
