Method

1.Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a Swiss roll tin.
2.For the base, put the butter, sour cream, flour, oats, icing sugar and rosemary in a food processor. Mix until it forms a soft dough ball. Transfer to the prepared tin and press into an even layer. Bake for 20 minutes or until lightly golden.
3.While the base cooks, make the topping. Mix the sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, cornflour, baking powder and eggs in a food processor (no need to wash it between base and topping) until well combined. Pour over the cooked pastry base and bake a further 25 minutes until just set.
4.Dust with icing sugar when cold, then cut into slices with a hot knife.
  • Always zest lemons before you use the juice. Store the zest, wrapped in foil, in the freezer for future cooking.
