baking paper

Ingredients

For the shortbread base

175 g butter
75 g caster sugar
175 g plain flour
75 g rice flour

For the lemon topping

3 eggs
180 g caster sugar
40 g plain flour
1 tbsp lemon zest approx. 1 lemon
100 g lemon juice approx. 2 lemons

Instructions

Preparation

Pre-heat the oven to 180 C / 360 F.
Line a 9-inch square cake tin with baking paper. Allow enough baking paper to overlap to make it easy to lift the slice out of the tin when finished.

To make the shortbread base

Add all the shortbread ingredients to the Thermomix bowl. Mix for 10 seconds / speed 6 then use the Dough function / 20 seconds.
Tip the shortbread crumbs into the prepared cake tin and firmly press it down. Try to ensure it is even, but don't worry too much about it looking perfect, as you will soon cover it with the lemon topping.
Use a fork to prick holes all over the shortbread.
Bake in the oven for 20 minutes.

For the lemon topping

Add all the ingredients to the Thermomix bowl. Mix for 20 seconds / speed 4.
Set aside while you wait for the shortbread base to cook.

Assembling the slice

Remove the shortbread base from the oven.
Pour over the topping. Be sure to do this while the base is still hot. Do not allow it to cool.
Return to the oven and cook for a further 20 minutes.

Cooling & Cutting the slice

Remove the slice from the oven and allow it to cool in the tin on the countertop for an hour.
Now transfer to the fridge and chill for a minimum of 2 hours.
Use the baking paper to lift the slice out of the tin. Sieve icing sugar over the top and use a sharp knife to cut the slice into 16 equal portions.

Notes

Storage: This slice can be stored in an airtight container on the countertop if your kitchen is fairly cool. Otherwise, store in the fridge. Store for up to 5 days.
