Bars of Lemonsin is akin to shortcakes - a sweet biscuit that originated from America.
Lemons are known for its good source of vitamin C...
however , the high heat of the oven would have destroyed whatever vitamin C there is.
Nevertheless, the lemons do retain a 'tart' taste to counter the possibly overwhelming sweetness in this dessert.

3 eggs
200g sugar
100ml lemon juice (~2 lemon)
Lemon rind from 3 lemons

Making the base…
- Mix the flour and sugar well in a large bowl, add the butter and rub till the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

- Remove the tin and reduce the oven temperature to 140 ºC.
Making the topping..
- While the base is in the oven, whisk the eggs with sugar using an electronic mixer until thick and pale (depending on the speed and type of beater, time varies, I took about 5 minutes on high speed).
