Bettys Easy Lemon Crumble Slice Recipes

BETTY'S EASY LEMON CRUMBLE SLICE

Steps:

• 1. Pre-heat oven to 375oF/180oC. Well grease and line a large 27 x 27 cm pan (10.5" x 10.5") pan and set aside.
• 2. In a large bowl, beat the sugar, flour and butter until it looks like breadcrumbs. Add the eggs and beat to combine, it will look like big fat breadcrumbs - this is correct.
• 3. Tip 2/3 of the mixture (or there abouts) into the pan and flatten evenly out using your fingers. Tip the prepared lemon curd/butter over the base (we always use 2 cups of lemon butter/curd due to liking a more gooey centre and extra lemon flavour). Use your fingers to crumble the remaining dough on top - as evenly as you can.
• 4. Bake in the prepared oven for about 35- 40 minutes, it should look just golden on on top. Cool in the tin. Remove and slice into squares and store in an air tight container.
