I recommend using the Metric measurements (instead of cups & spoons) for more accuracy and better results.
Instructions
Preheat oven to 200ºC/180C/ Fan
Spray a 20cm/9" square tin with oil and line with baking/parchment paper with overhang (so it can be lifted out once cooked).
Place Shortbread Base ingredients in a food processor and pulse a few times until crumbs form. Pour into prepared tin and press evenly and firmly into the base. (If you don't have a food processor, you can use your fingers to "rub" the butter into the dry ingredients and you'll end up with the same crumbs)
Bake for 12 minutes or until light golden. Remove from oven.
While the base is baking, place Lemon Topping ingredients in a bowl and whisk until combined.
Pour Lemon Topping onto the Shortbread Base. Bake for 18 - 20 minutes until the topping is set and light golden in colour.
Remove from oven and cool. Transfer to fridge and cool for 2 hours before slicing into 16 squares. Dust with icing sugar and serve.
