Lemon Slice

Last night my Mum made Lemon Slice for my lunch.

Ingredients

Base

1 cup self-raising flour
1 cup standard flour
1 cup sugar
100g cold butter
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 Tbsp milk

Filling

100g butter
2 lemons grated rind and juice
1 cup sugar
 2 large eggs, lightly beaten

Heat oven to 180 degrees, grease and line a 23cm square loose bottom cake pan.

For base mix sifted flour and sugar in a bowl. Grate in the cold butter then rub it in until it looks like rolled oats. Make a well in the centre and add the egg. Add milk and mix together. Press half into bottom of cake pan.

For filling melt butter in a pot. Take off heat. Add lemon juice and rind, sugar and eggs, then heat again stirring constantly until mixture thickens into a custard. Take off heat when bubbles start forming.

Pour filling over base. Crumble other part of base over thetop.

Bake 35-45 minutes.
