yummo! have made this a few times,but i have found the top of the slice tasted floury and was firm.Made it again yesterday and only put in a couple tbs of sr flour into the lemon mix and it turned out simillar to lemon curd with a thin crust on top.....excellent! :)

Awsome I have also tried it with gluten free flour mix and it was just the same so heaps of brownie points scored for me when the mother in law could enjoy it with us for supper.Thank you

After solving a little confusion over measurements -- fluid ounces versus ounces of weight in the conversion from metric -- this came together beautifully, set up properly, and tastes wonderful. Handles like a cookie (biscuit) because the jelly-like lemon topping is covered with just the slightest crust. Made for the OZ/NZ Swap #22.
