Ingredients
Gooey, chewy lemon and honey slice
- 1 1/2 cup Countdown free from gluten plain flour
- 2/3 cup Countdown caster sugar
- 170 gram Countdown butter (or use coconut oil for dairy-free)
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
Topping
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup Countdown caster sugar
- 5 heaped tbsp Countdown honey
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 3 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1/4 cup Countdown free from gluten plain flour
- icing sugar, to dust (optional)
Method
- 1Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a Swiss roll tin with baking paper.
- 2Process the flour, caster sugar, butter and lemon zest until it resembles breadcrumbs. Tip into the tin and gently press down to make an even base.
- 3Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until golden.
- 4While the base cooks, make the topping. Beat the eggs with the sugar until light and frothy. Add the honey and beat until incorporated.
- 5Stir in the lemon juice, zest, ginger and flour, then mix until combined.
- 6Pour over the hot base (I do this while it is still on the oven rack to save spillage). Bake for 35-40 minutes until set.
- 7Cool and cut into squares.
Notes
For clean edges, run the knife blade through hot water before cutting.
