It is back today! 🍋🤎
And, as promised, here is the recipe for our much-loved Sticky Lemon Slice.
A little shout-out to Wholemeal Café in Tākaka, New Zealand, where this beauty originated.
Sweet, sticky, lemony and ridiculously good with a coffee.
Sticky Lemon Slice
Base
225g soft butter
½ cup icing sugar
1½ cups plain flour
Topping
4 eggs
1½ cups sugar
Rind of 2 lemons
¼ cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
¼ cup lemon juice
Base:
Cream together the butter and icing sugar, then add the flour. Press the dough into a flat tin with edges, such as a sponge roll tin, which has been lined with baking paper. Bake for 15 minutes at 170°C. Let cool slightly.
Topping:
Beat the eggs and sugar until they are creamy and thick. Then slowly mix in the finely grated lemon rind, sifted flour, baking powder and lemon juice until smooth.
Pour the topping mixture over the slightly cooled base and bake at 170°C for another 30 minutes.
Cut into pieces, dust generously with icing sugar and serve. 🍋
