Buttery shortcrust under a lemon curd layer dusted with icing sugar. Buttery and fragrant, with a bakery-quality crackle on top. Best the day they are baked, but they keep three days in a tin.

1
Heat the oven to 175 C / 350 F and line two trays with parchment.

Combine the flour, shortcrust pastry and a pinch of salt, then set the bowl aside.
3
Work the butter and sugar to a paste, add eggs, then bring the dough together with the dry ingredients.

Press the lemon into the dough in two additions so every piece gets its share.
5
Roll or scoop the dough, bake 11-13 minutes, then cool on the tray five minutes — they finish setting as they cool.

Chef's tip

Weigh your flour if you can; cup measures can be off by twenty percent either way.
