Sticky Lemon Slice

70g/2 1/2 oz icing sugar
275g/10oz plain flour
Topping
400g /14 oz granulated sugar
4 medium eggs, beaten
4 tbsp plain flour

icing sugar to dust
Preheat oven to 170. C./150.C Fan/325.F/Gas3
Preheat oven to 170. C./150.C Fan/325.F/Gas3
Line base of non-stick 32 x 21cm/ 12" x 8" Swiss roll tin with baking paper.
Base:
Put butter in food processor and process until whipped.
Add icing sugar and process until light in colour (creamed).
Add flour and process until mixture forms a ball.
Tip into tin and press flat. If mixture is sticky, keep your fingers dusted with flour.
Bake 15 minutes, then remove from oven.
Leave oven on.
While base is cooling, make topping.
Topping: Tip sugar into the cleaned bowl of food processor and add eggs. Process 1 minute.
Transfer mixture to a bowl, sprinkle flour and baking powder over top. Add lemon zest and juice, mixing together with a large spoon.
Pour mixture on top of base (it will fill the tin).
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden and firmish to touch.
Cool in the tin, then dust with icing sugar and cut into squares.
Transfer to airtight container when cool. Will keep for 3-5 days.
My Notes
I found the base was very sticky so I added a tablespoon of flour to the food processor and whizzed again

Visited for the first time just the other day and the recipes all look so totally scrumptious. But I must ask, was it just me, or did I see a delectable recipe here the other day for baked mac and cheese that has suddenly disappeared?
Hi Roberta. Thank you for your comments.I haven't a mac cheese recipe just cauli cheese. However there is a very good one in a blog I visit so maybe you saw it there.
