nice recipe, I made a double batch to fill a half sheet pan. I found that the base was too dry, so I added 1/2 cup buttermilk per batch to get a dough like base (1 cup for double batch). Turned out great! I used Dr.Oetker lemon pie filling (2 pies worth) for the lemon topping since it's going to feed a large group. For home I put in the extra effort. -
Sensational recipe, did exactly as stated and so easy when I used the food processor, I use this all the time in lemon season, today I have just tried GF flour and grapefruit, because the topping was too heavy for the base it has made an awesome lemon shortbread pudding for desert. It deserves more than 5 stars. Well done on a fab recipe.

I live in Western Australia, by the beach. I have four children and I cook.
I am excited about the spring and the ensuing summer. So many fruits and vegetables. Beaching and fresh fish.
Endless afternoons and so many excuses to eat good food.
