Step by Step guide

Step 1

Grate the zest from three lemons using a fine grater, then squeeze the juice from the lemons (you will need 200 ml for the recipe).

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the flour (175 g), shredded coconut, regular sugar (50 g), brown sugar (40 g), and finely grated zest of half a lemon. Add the diced cold butter and rub it into the mixture until crumbly. Pour in the milk and mix again.

Step 3

Transfer the dough to a rectangular baking dish lined with parchment paper and smooth it out. Bake for 20–25 minutes in a preheated oven at 392°F. Remove the dish and reduce the oven temperature to 356°F.

Step 4

Whisk the eggs with lemon juice until fluffy and pale. In a separate large bowl, mix the remaining sugar (200 g) and flour (25 g), then add the zest of three lemons. Sift the egg mixture into the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly with a whisk.
