Someone once said “When life gives you lemons, make a lemonade.”

LEMON SLICE

Ingredients:
(For the bottom layer)
150 g salt-reduced butter
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
1/4 cup caster sugar
1 Tbsp cornflour
1 1/3 cup plain flour
Icing sugar

(For the top layer)
4 eggs
1/3 cup plain flour
3/4 cup caster sugar
2/3 cup lemon juice

Procedure:

Preheat oven to 160 deg C.

Prepare the bottom layer by melting butter in a bowl. Add sugar and vanilla and mix well. Sift the flours on the mixture, then stir thoroughly with a wooden spoon. Set aside.

Line pan with baking paper. Transfer the bottom layer mixture to the pan. Spread it evenly and press to compact. Bake for 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, prepare the top layer by whisking eggs, flour and sugar until smooth. Add lemon juice and continue whisking.

Pour the top layer mixture over the cooked bottom layer. Bake for 20 more minutes and let it cool in the pan. Dust with icing sugar, slice and serve.
