Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
6 oz Plain White Flour
Icing sugar
9 1/2 oz Butter
5 Lemons
10 Eggs
10 oz Caster Sugar

Blend together the flour, 1 level tablespoon of icing
sugar, and 3.5 ounces butter in a food processor until
the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. divide between two
22cm ceramic flan dishes and press into the base using
your fingertips.

Bake at 170C/325F/Gas Mark 3 for about 35-40 minutes
or until golden.

Melt the remaining butter for the filling and place in
a processor with the grated rind and squeezed juice of
the lemons (about 7 fl oz), the eggs and caster sugar.
Blend until smooth, then pour over the warm shortbread
(the bases must be warm when the filling is put in or
the crumbs will rise to the surface.)

Bake at 130C/250F/Gas mark one-half for 75 to 90
minutes or until just set (the slower the cooking time
the smoother the texture), Leave to cool then cover
and refrigerate for up to 4 days.

To serve, remove from the fridge for 1 hour. Cut into
wedges, ease out of the dishes and dust heavily with
icing sugar. Return to fridge until required.
