"As a child this recipe would be made by my mother and older sister for all birthday parties. This recipe is made for those with a sweet tooth, some people will find it a little too sweet, but overall most people love it. It is tangy and yet sweet and delicious. I have a couple of versions of this recipe, but I have found this C.S.R. sugar one to be nearly the same as the family recipe. I have included setting the slice as cooking time."

Step by Step Method

FOR THE SHORTCAKE


Step 1

Cream butter and sugar. Add egg, flour, and vanilla essence. Mix well then press into a well-greased slice or sponge-roll tray. Bake for 15-20 minutes at 160°C until pale golden coloured. Cool.

FOR THE FILLING


Step 2

Put sugar, water and the juice and rind of the lemons in a saucepan and bring to the boil. Separately mix the milk, custard powder and cornflour to a smooth paste. Stir in the 2 mixtures together using a wire whisk, then slowly bring to the boil and boil for 3 minutes. Pour over the shortcake.

FOR THE MARSHMALLOW


Step 3

In a medium-large saucepan dissolve gelatine in the water. Add the sugar and boil for 8 minutes, then cool. Add the lemon essence and icing sugar and beat until thick and creamy. Pour at once over the shortcake and filling and leave to set.

Step 4

Cut when cold.
