Method

1. Preheat the oven to moderate 1800 ° C. Brush two 12-cup shallow patty (bun) tins with oil. Sift flour and a pinch of salt into a bowl; rub in butter.

2. Add sugar, rind, egg yolk and 2-3 tablespoons of iced water; mix with a knife. Gently knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth. Cover in plastic wrap and allow to chill for 10 minutes.

3. To make the filling: Using electric beaters, beat the cream cheese, sugar and egg yolks until smooth and thickened. Add lemon juice and condensed milk; beat until well combined.

4. Roll out the dough between sheets of baking paper to 3 mm thickness. Using a 7 cm fluted, round cutter, cut rounds from pastry. Gently press into patty (bun) tins. Lightly prick each round 3 times with a fork, bake for 10 minutes or until just starting to turn golden.

5. Remove from the oven and pour filling into each case. Return to the oven for another 5 minutes or until filling has set. Cool slightly before removing from tins. Garnish with strips of candied lemon peel, if desired.
