Method

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.
