Step 1

In heavy-bottomed saucepan over high heat, cook strawberries and sugar until 220°F (105°C).

Make a slurry by whisking together cornstarch, lime zest, lime juice and ½ cup (125 mL) water.

Step 3

Add slurry to berry mixture; cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and is boiling for at least 1 minute.

Step 4

Remove from heat. Add vanilla and salt. Scrape into blender; pulse until smooth. Spread on sheet pan to cool.

Step 5

In bowl, cream together margarine, shortening, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, lemon zest and salt. Stir in flaxseeds. Pour in almond milk.

Step 6

In separate bowl, crumble yeast into flour. Stir in baking powder.

Step 7

Fold flour mixture into sugar mixture. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 48 hours.

Step 8

On floured surface, roll out dough to ½-inch (1 cm) thickness; using 4-inch (10 cm) round cutter, cut out rounds, re-rolling scraps, if necessary.
