My Lemon Shortbread Slice is SO easy to make!
Who could resist this zesty shortbread base, topped with a layer of luscious lemon…
Base ingredients:
- 2 cups flour
- ½ cup icing sugar
- 220g butter, unsalted
- Zest of one lemon
Top:
- 4 eggs, beaten
- 1 ¾ cup sugar
- 1/3 – 2/3 cup lemon juice
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- Zest of two lemons
Directions:
1) Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a deep tin (approx 23cm x 23cm) with baking paper.
2) In a bowl, mix together flour, icing sugar, butter and lemon zest.
3) Press into the tin and bake for 15-20 mins, or until lightly golden.
4) To make the top layer – in a clean bowl, beat the eggs, sugar and lemon juice. Sift in flour and baking powder.
Add lemon zest and gently fold.
