1
Preheat the oven to 160°C/325°f/gas mark 3. Put the flour, cornflour, caster sugar and butter in a bowl and rub in until it forms fine crumbs. Lightly knead into a ball.
2
Roll out the dough thinly, taking care to keep it an even thickness. Trim the dough to make a 30cm x 10cm rectangle, then cut into six smaller rectangles.
3
Transfer the dough biscuits to a baking sheet, prick with a fork and bake for 20-25 minutes until they are straw coloured and firm. Neaten the edges with a serrated knife if needed. Leave to cool.

To make the compote, put the wine, water, sugar and ginger in a small frying pan and bring to the boil, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. 5
Add the rhubarb, cook for 1 minute, then turn off the heat. Leave the rhubarb to cool in the liquid. It should retain its shape.
6
Place a sieve over a bowl and tip in the rhubarb. Pour the juices from the bowl into the pan and reduce on the hob until the liquid is thick and syrupy. You should end up with about 6 tablespoons of syrup.

Whip the cream in a bowl until it forms firm peaks. Carefully fold in the yoghurt.
8
Use a small dot of yoghurt cream to stick the shortbread biscuits to serving plates, then pipe or spoon two layers of cream over each.

Arrange the rhubarb, side by side, on top of the cream and drizzle with a little syrup to serve.
