Base
200g butter
1/4 cup Chelsea Golden Syrup
1 1/4 cup standard flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 1/4 cup crushed cornflakes
1 cup Chelsea White Sugar
1/2 cup coconut
1/2 cup sultanas, optional
Lemon Icing
1 1/2 - 2 cup Chelsea Icing Sugar
5g butter (a knob)
2 Tspn lemon juice
small quantity of boiled water
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Lightly grease a 20cm x 30cm sponge roll tin.
Melt butter and golden syrup in a large pot. Remove from heat and sift flour and baking powder into the pot. Add cornflakes, sugar, coconut and sultanas (optional). Mix well. Press into the lightly greased baking tin. Bake in oven for 20 minutes or until starting to brown. When cold ice with lemon icing.
Icing
Boil kettle. Put icing sugar, butter and lemon juice into a bowl. Add small amounts of boiled water, mixing with a knife, until icing is at desired consistency. Spread over base. Sprinkle with coconut.
Very nice but I prefer it with oats instead of cornflakes and only half the sugar (replace with more oats). It only just fills my 17x25cm tin so I would increase the recipe by 50% for a 20x30cm tin.
This recipe is great! already made it twice already. Personally I find no need for the icing as the slice is already sweet enough! I didn't use the sultanas and still tasted amazing, definitely recommend!
What size baking pan should this be made in? I made it in a smaller swiss roll tin and it was too brittle and short, hard to cut up and fell apart. I think if I used a smaller pan it would have been better.
CHELSEA: sorry that this wasn't specified. We recommend using a 20cm x 30cm sponge roll tin - have just updated the recipe accordingly.
Easy to make. People enjoyed it and evry piece was eaten. Thank you Chelsea.
i really like this recipe. it uses up the left over corn flakes and my partner really likes it too. i didn't use sultanas or coconut as i don't like coconut and it was lovely.
This slice is just excellent and my husband said it was like something you get in a cafe!
Really yummy my family loves it! They said i have to keep baking it! I love it!
Love it. Al the boys on Hubby's building site are clamoring for the recipe.
And Sooo easy to make
Most enjoyable slice.
Don,t think you really need the icing but
then it can,t be called 'lemon' I quest.
The best slice I make - according to Master 13 and Miss 12.
