📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat oven to 180C/350F (160C fan). Spray a 20cm/8" square tin with oil and line with baking/parchment paper with overhang (so it can be lifted out once cooked).

Base - Place Shortbread Base ingredients in a food processor fitted with the standard "S" blade. Pulse 5 to 10 times until it becomes like sand. (Or use tips of fingers, Note 2). Pour into the tin, spread, then press firmly into the base, pushing it right up to the edges. Using something flat to press in is helpful!
3
Bake base for ⏱️ 20 minutes or until golden on the edges and pale golden in the middle. Remove from oven. (⚠️ Note: don't let it cool, pour in curd immediately).
4
Lemon Curd - While the base is baking, place Lemon Topping ingredients in a bowl and whisk until combined.
5
Bake ⏱️ 20 minutes - Pour Lemon Curd onto base, then bake for ⏱️ 20 minutes until the topping is set but still soft.
6
Cool - Remove from then oven and cool on the counter for ⏱️ 1 hour, then fridge for at least ⏱️ 2 hours. Slice into 16 squares. Dust with icing sugar (confectionary sugar) and serve!
