And this one from Jenna68:

LEMON COCONUT SLICE

1 cup flour, 2 tsp BP, 1 cup coconut, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup melted butter

Mix dry ingred, add butter, press firmly in sponge roll tin and bake 180oC 15 mins until golden and then ice with lemon icing using both rind and juice (I use a lot of rind for that intense lemon flavour as the base is quite plain, sometimes I add rind to the base too).

Can alternate the icings and use Orange icing and Passionfuit icing too! I double it because I have one of those older style sponge roll tins that are in 2 parts so you can extend them and I extend it right out for the double mix.

This one was from Good Morning, with Simon Holst - not hard to see I love lemons!!!

Marjie's lemon shortcake
With Simon Holst

This recipe is made all the more delicious for us, knowing that in true time honoured fashion it was passed on to us by a long time family friend, Marjie.

Base & Topping Ingredients:

1 cup self-raising flour
1 cup standard (plain) flour
1 cup sugar
100g cold butter
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 Tbsp milk

Filling Ingredients:
100g butter
2 lemons, grated rind and juice
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs, lightly beaten

Method:

Heat oven to 180C (170C fanbake), with rack just below the middle. Line the base and sides of an 18x28cm cake pan with baking paper.

To make the base, mix the sifted flours and sugar in a bowl. Grate in the cold butter, then rub it in until it looks like instant oats (or chop in butter cubes in a food processor). Make a well in the centre and add the lightly beaten egg. Add just enough milk so that particles will stick together when pressed, making a dough. Press half this over bottom of pan, keeping the rest to crumble on top.

To Make the filling: melt butter in a medium-sized pot. Take off heat. Beat in the grated lemon rind and juice, sugar and eggs, then heat again, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens to a pouring custard. Take off heat as soon as first bubbles form. Pour it evenly over the base and crumble remaining dough mixture on top.

Bake for 35-45 minutes, until golden brown, with centre almost as firm as the edges. Remove from loose bottomed pan and leave to cool.
~~~~~~~~

Versatility is always good in a recipe, and this one is no exception. The shortcake is delicious cut into larger squares, dusted with icing sugar and served warm for dessert, with whipped cream or ice-cream, but it's also delicious served cold in smaller pieces with tea or coffee. (To store, arrange in a single layer in a loosely covered container, or refrigerate in an airtight container for longer periods).

I make that all the time though its called something else in my recipe book. I always have a batch of lemon Honey in the fridge as I make it when we run out. I just make the base and use that instead of making it fresh for the recipe. Cuts down on time . Really yummy if you have used your lemons to make lemoncillo and you flavour the cream with that.

Freezes well as well if you make a double batch

From the former Trademe Cooks.....

"Heres one I got off here ages ago - quick, easy and yummy. Mix together 3/4 cup self raising flour, 1/3 cup sugar and a pinch of salt. Add 2 beaten eggs, 1/4 cup of milk and 100g of melted butter. Mix well. In a buttered pudding bowl pour 1/2 cup of either golden syrup, lemon butter or jam and top with the batter mixture. Microwave on high for 5 - 10 mins (5 for 1000Watt 10 for 700Watt) until centre is cooked and springy. Let stand a few minutes and turn out. Feeds 4 adults. OOps........sorry left out one ingredient - add 2 dessertspoons of custard powder with the flour/sugar mix. Also for a chocolate variation change the custard powder to cocoa and pour in the bowl chocolate sauce (I use Hersheys) instead of golden syrup, jam etc.

Basic Self Saucing Pudding with Variations (including Lemon)
Grease the base and side of a 1 litre Pudding basin with melted butter. Place a round of baking paper in the bottom. Put the empty basin in a saucepan on an upturned saucer and pour enough cold water to come halfway up the side of the basin. Remove the basin and put the water on to boil. Sift 1 ¼ cups self-raising flour into a bowl, add a pinch of salt, 120g softened butter, 2/3 cup sugar and 3 eggs and beat together well. Pour into basin. Cover a sheet of foil with a sheet of baking paper and make a large pleat in the middle. Grease the paper with melted butter. Place paper-side-down on top of the basin and tie with string securely around the rim of the basin and over the top to make a handle. Lower the basin into the simmering water and cover with a tight-fitting lid. Cook for 1 hour 45 minutes. Check the level after an hour and top up to the original level with boiling water as needed. Try putting a coin in the base of the saucepan – it will stop rattling when the water is getting low.

TOP TIP: To reheat a steamed pudding after cooking, bring it back to room temperature and reboil for half the original cooking time. Alternatively cut into slices and reheat gently in the microwave individually.

The following flavours can be used with this basic Steam Pudding.

Treacle
Mix 2 tablespoons treacle into the pudding mixture and place 2 teaspoons of treacle in the base of the pudding bowl. When you turn the pudding out, drizzle with a little golden syrup. Serve with ice cream and custard.

Jam
Place 2 tablespoons of strawberry jam in the base of the basin before adding the pudding mix.

Lemon
Peel and remove the pith from a lemon. Slice and arrange slices over the base and up the sides of the basin. Sprinkle with 2 teaspoons of sugar. Add 1 tablespoon grated lemon rind to the pudding mix.

Fruit Mince
Sift 1/4 teaspoon mixed spice with the flour, and stir 1/3 cup fruit mince into the pudding mix. Serve with custard.

Chocolate
Sift 2 tablespoons cocoa powder with the flour, and stir ½ cup milk choc bits into the pudding mixture. Serve with hot chocolate sauce.

Banana Caramel
Pour 30g melted butter into the pudding basin and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons soft brown sugar. Place slices of banana over the base and slightly up the side of basin. Add 1 mashed ripe banana to the pudding mixture and mix well. Serve with freshly whipped cream.
