This is an old school dish used at picnics and bbqs. I did a lemon key lime version years ago, but that was before I discovered elderflower’s ability to add flavor. I hope you like it.
Crust:
1 1/2 cup flour
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 ounces unsalted butter
Filling:
6 ounces sugar
2 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon corn starch
6 ounces Meyer lemon juice
2 tablespoons Meyer lemon zest
3 large eggs
4 tablespoons melted butter
1 teaspoon elderflower syrup
1 teaspoon elderflower liqueur
Heat oven to 350.
In bowl mix flour, salt, sugar, and butter.
Place on the bottom of a 9” cake pan.
Bake for 12-15 minutes.
In the same bowl add sugar, flour, cornstarch, lemon juice, eggs, elderflower syrup, elderflower liqueur, and zest.
Beat until smooth and creamy.
Pour over hot crust.
Bake for 20-24 minutes.
Let cool in refrigerator for 2 hours.
Top with powdered sugar (but I don’t).


Another one of my favorite things to make with Meyer lemons. They make the best lemon bars.
