(I know it says recipe nine...and I just posted recipe twelve...seems there was no ninth recipe...so here is it's replacement!)
The secret ingredient in many of my favourite recipes is the memories they conjure up with your first bite.
This one says Christmas lunch with my Nan and Pa.
It says new bikes and hot days.
It reminds me of the days when all five or six of us played together in the back yard.
Mum's Lemon Slice:
1/2 a cup of sweetened condensed milk
100gm of Butter
200gms of Granita Biscuits
1 Cup of dessicated coconut.
The Rind of one lemon, finely grated.
Lemon Icing
2 cups of Icing Sugar
40gms of butter
The Juice of the rindless lemon!
Grease and line a slab pan (15 X 25cm)
Put your butter and condensed milk in a small pan and melt together.
Put the biscuits in your food processor and process until you have fine crumbs
Pour these crumbs into a bowl and add 2 teaspoons of lemon rind and the coconut.
Add the hot butter mixture and combine.
Press this mixture into the base of your pan.
Refrigerate for an hour.
Make your lemon icing:
Place icing sugar, butter and 2.5 tablespoons of lemon juice into a small bowl.
Beat until smooth with a wooden spoon.
Spread over base, sprinkle with toasted coconut if you like and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Call in everyone who is playing in the backyard and serve.
