pale slices

Lemon slice
Preheat oven to 180c
melt 110 grams of butter in a mixing bowl by microwave technology
add:
1 cup of gluten free Self raising flour
3/4 cup castor sugar
1 cup of coconut

Then add two eggs slightly beaten. ( I always throw them into a corner of the bowl and then beat them a little before mixing them in with the rest.
prepare a slice tin by ripping off some good quality baking paper and placing it ove r the tin. Pour the mixture in and spread it around with the knife. Difficult. Some contortions and your tongue poking out of your mouth sometimes assists. Bake until light brown then while hot, ice with lemon icing.
You make this by melting a dob of butter in the mocrowave and then adding icing sugar and lemon juice till you get enough.

Raspberry Shortcake
One of my favourites when I was a child was raspberry shortcake from that special book that my Nanna gave me.
Then I didn't have it for four years after being diagnosed with the sillileaks disease.Then I realised that his lemon slice base above would suit it perfectly. I cooked the base first for twenty minutes, then whipped it out of the oven and spread over it some raspberry jam and then whipped up an egg with some castor sugar and coconut and spread it over the top and back into the oven.
yummy and just like the original!
