• Step 1

  First gather your ingredients:
  1 cup & 3 tbsp flour
  1/8 tsp salt
  3/4 cup sugar
  1/4 cup margarine or butter
  1 egg & 1 egg white (or alternative)
  1 LARGE lemon
  1/8 tsp baking powder
  Cinnamon to sprinkle on top

• 

  Step 2

  The next step is to mix 1 cup flour, 1/4 cup sugar, & the salt.

• 

  Step 3

  Next cut the 1/4 cup butter into the flour mixture until a crumbled dough forms.
  I hope this picture shows how it should look.

  fyi 1/4 cup is the same as half a stick.

• 

  Step 4

  Once your dough is crumbly enough, press it into the bottom of a GREASED pan.

  I used extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) in a can.

  Bake this dough until golden @ 350* and then cool.

  Step 5

  Now for the lemony goodness!

  Whisk your egg alternative (1 egg & 1 egg white) with the remaining sugar, add the juice of a lemon and lemon zest if you like it tangy. Add baking powder and the remaining flour.

  tip: Roll the lemon on a hard surface to break up the juice. Use a spoon to press the juice out. Strain the juice as you add it to the mix to catch the seeds. :)

  Step 6

  Pour the lemon mixture over the cooled shortbread. Bake until lemon mixture is set.(20mins @ 350*)
  Dust with cinnamon and allow to cool.

  Now enjoy your summer treat perfect for brightening up dreary winter days. :)

I used the small 8x8 size casserole. Just be aware if you use real eggs you will have alot more filling so don't double until you see how much you have.
