1 egg, beaten
1 1/2 cups self-raising flour
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
Filling
1 cup Chelsea White Sugar
1 cup water

1/2 cup milk

2 Tbsp gelatine

Shortcake
Cream butter and Sugar. Add egg, flour, and vanilla essence. Mix well then press into a well-greased slice or sponge-roll tray. Bake for 15-20 minutes at 160°C until pale golden coloured. Cool.
Filling
Put Sugar, water and the juice and rind of the lemons in a saucepan and bring to the boil. Separately mix the milk, custard powder and cornflour to a smooth paste. Stir in the 2 mixtures together using a wire whisk, then slowly bring to the boil and boil for 3 minutes. Pour over the shortcake.
Marshmallow
In a medium-large saucepan dissolve gelatine in the water. Add the Sugar and boil for 8 minutes, then cool. Add the lemon essence and Icing Sugar and beat until thick and creamy. Pour at once over the shortcake and filling and leave to set. Cut when cold.
I just made this. Absolutely beautiful. I agree with everyone else make sure you put it in a high enough tin. First time with the marshmallow and I don’t think I whipped it enough. Still taste a lot like icing sugar. Otherwise beautiful. Thank you!
Havent made this yet just wondering if it's possible to swap lemon essence for lemon juice? Looking forward to trying this recipe as the traditional marshmallow slice doesnt last long in my house.
CHELSEA: absolutely lemon juice would work just as well. Yum!
Delicious combination of sweet and sharp. Only problem was the marshmallow trying to slide off but it still tastes divine.
Very yummy ... But the marshmallow kept sliding off the top. Also, you need to have a tin with quite high sides, as the topping layers up high!
