Megan's Lemon Short cake

I have never met Karen but we have become

friends over the net,

she has a wonderful website with awesome recipes and

this is one of them that I attempted to make

it's called

Megan's Lemon Shortcake

I guess she got it from Megan

you'll have to trot on over to Karen's blog to

read about it

In a food processor pop in:

• 1 cup flour
• 100g butter
• 1/4 cup icing sugar
• Mix until crumbly; don't wait for it to combine.
• Press into a loose based flan tin.
• Fan bake 180oC 15 mins.
• Mix in a separate bowl:

• 1 cup castor sugar
• 3 Tbsp flour
• Add:

• Rind of 1-2 lemons; grated fine
• 1/3 cup lemon juice
• 3 beaten eggs

Pour over pre-cooked base in the oven (word of warning don't move the base or the lemon/egg mix will drip out) & fan bake at 180oC for another 15 mins.

Sprinkle with icing sugar to serve.

ok why does mine look so different?

there's a story to it and I hope my husband isn't reading my

blog because this one is all his fault but I love him to death

and I think I've forgiven him.

I was making the above recipe for a card night

2 weeks ago, hubby asked if he could help

well don't you ladies know that when husbands

offer to help you take it!!!

So I did and I thought the easiest thing he couldn't

get wrong was to follow a recipe and finish what I had started.

My instructions to him were

"can you make up the second half of the recipe

and when the buzzer goes off follow what it says,

I'm off to clean the rest of the house that

the card makers might go visit"

...that was a load off my mind, or so I thought

I hear the buzzer go off and I wander into the

kitchen just in time to see him lift up the bowl

of mixture and lose control and the bowl flies out

of his hand and onto the floor

...............insert expletives here...........real bad ones from me

I did not know mixture could fly so far and so high

2 weeks later I am still finding hardened mixture

of lemon, sugar and eggs all over the vicinity of the kitchen.

The day after the 'accident' the kitchen smelt of eggs.

I've forgiven my husband and I still love him...only just

needless to say I haven't attempted to make this recipe again

I am still traumatised by it

So what you see is the shortbread offerings that came out of the oven

and I must say it makes good shortbread but I would leave it

in the oven for the rest of the 15 mins

It's a really nice recipe, you should try it!!

Thanks Karen
