Did you ever have lemon curd for pudding at school? It was a thick layer of lemon curd on a pastry base. What was the pastry?

Mmmmm, yes I remember that, it was yum!
My first thought was shortcrust pastry but wasn't it more biscuity? So now I think it might have been a shortbread type thing?:j

I don't think it was shortbread. Maybe it was shortcrust. I really fancy some though. That and sponge with pink icing, and chocolate sponge and chocolate sauce!

I think it must have been shorter shortcrust with sugar in it.

remember the Chocolate sponge with pink blancmange

It was always a very short sweet shortcrust on ours and had a rather crumbly texture. Now when I make it I just use a regular shortcrust as I find the sweet one is a touch too sweet for our tastes

I remember one that used to be on flaky pasty which was also very yummy!

Was it something similar to the base of these lemon bars, they are delish
