Ingredients
- For the shortbread base
- 150g butter at room temperature
- 75g caster sugar
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 225g plain flour
- A pinch salt
- For the topping
- 20g butter
- 20g caster sugar
- 2 tbsp golden syrup
- 4-5 satsumas, tangerines or ‘easy peelers’ peeled and sliced
Method
-
Preheat the oven to 180°C/Gas 4. Put the glass fibre pan onto a baking sheet.
-
Cream the butter and sugar together until combined (there’s no need for it to be light and fluffy). Add the lemon zest, then work in the flour and salt with a wooden spoon. Knead for a few seconds until smooth. Press over the base of the tray in an even layer, using the back of a spoon. Bake for 20 minutes.
-
While the shortbread is baking, put the butter, sugar and golden syrup into a frying pan and heat gently until melted. Add the slices of satsuma, tangerines or ‘easy peelers’ and bubble gently for 4-5 minutes, until syrupy and just beginning to caramelise.
-
Remove the shortbread base from the oven and arrange the fruit over the surface of the shortbread, spooning any syrup over the top. Return to the oven to bake for 5 more minutes. Cool, then cut into 12 slices.

Tip: If you like, add a few pecan halves to the syrupy citrus fruit.
