I’ve just started to get a regular supply of some vibrant, yellow-yolked eggs from Rodriguez’ five wives. Mabel lays slightly smaller eggs than her Rhode Island red counterparts. There are still lemons on my Meyer lemon tree. Time to make a batch of lemon delicious. Makes 16 slices or 30 mini-bites. It freezes well.

Shortbread base:
one cup (150g) plain flour
half cup raw sugar
100g butter

Pre-heat the oven to 180ºC. Line a 20cm x 20cm baking tin with baking paper or use a silicone baking form. Put the base ingredients in a food processor fitted with a blade.

Fold together gently.
