Lemon slice

No ratings yet

There’s been some great recipes posted to the reader recipe section of bite.co.nz recently. NgaireMPhillips had me making this deliciously sticky lemon slice.

Base

225 g Butter, softened
½ cup Icing sugar
2 cups Flour, sifted

Topping

1½ cups Sugar
4 small Eggs
2 Lemons, zested
¼ cup Flour, sifted
1 tsp Baking powder, sifted
⅓ cup Lemon juice

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 170C. Cream together butter and icing sugar. Then add flour. Press into a greased and lined sponge roll tin. Bake for 15 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile make the topping. Beat sugar and eggs together until creamy and thick. Mix in lemon zest, flour, baking powder, and lemon juice. Stir until smooth.
  3. Pour mixture over partly cooked base and cook a further 30 minutes or until golden and slightly firm.
  4. Cool in the tin and cut into 24 pieces (less for bigger serves). Serve sprinkled with icing sugar or with aspoonful of lemon yoghurt for dessert.

      Good thinking! So sorry about this. The temperature should be 170C and has been added now.
