What you need
Base
- 150g Anchor unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup flour
- 1/2 cup icing sugar
Topping
- 4 eggs
- 2 tsp finely grated grapefruit rind
- 1/3cup flour
- 1 1/3 cups caster sugar
- 2/3 cup freshly squeezed grapefruit juice
To Serve
- Icing sugar
- De Winkel Plain Unsweetened Yoghurt
Here's how it's done
- Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease a 3cm-deep, 16cm x 26cm slice pan. Line base and sides with baking paper.
- In a food processor mix the butter, flour and icing until it forms a soft dough around the blade. Press into the base of the tin and bake for 20-25 minutes until lightly golden. Allow to cool slightly.
- Make topping by whisking eggs, grapefruit rind, flour and sugar together until smooth. Add juice. Whisk to combine.
- Pour over base and bake for 15 minutes or until just set.
- Cool completely in tin then dust with icing sugar and slice.
Mix it up
If grapefruit aren't in season try imported ruby grapefruit instead. They will add a lovely pop of colour over summer. Or, if you like a bit more of a citrus bite you can substitute half the grapefruit juice with lemon juice.
