Sticky Lemon Slice
Tangy yet sweet slice that consists of a simple pastry like base topped with a sticky lemon filling that melts in the mouth and has an almost custard like texture.

Ingredients
- 120 g Butter, Softened (½ Cup)
- 1 Cup All Purpose Flour
- ½ Cup Icing Sugar
- 2 Tbsp. Milk
- ¾ Cup Caster Sugar
- ½ Cup Lemon Juice, around 3 Lemons
- 1 Tbsp. Lemon Rind
- 3 Large Eggs
- 2 Tbsp. Custard Powder
- ½ teaspoon Baking Powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 9"x13" baking tin.
- Place the butter, flour and icing sugar in a food processor and process until a light dough forms.
- Add the milk starting with 1 teaspoon.
- Add the milk slowly as you may only need a little bit. It should form a ball around the blade and its done.
- Press into the base of the baking tin and bake for 15 minutes or until the sides are starting to brown.
- While the base is baking prepare the lemon topping.
- Place the lemon juice, lemon rind, eggs, baking powder, caster sugar and custard powder in a food processor and process until its all combined.
- Pour over the base and place in the oven for 20-25 minutes.
- The top should be browning and the middle should be set.
- Allow to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
I find placing it in the fridge for an hour before slicing makes for neater slices.
