70 gr. flour
1 egg plus one egg white (or two small eggs)
100 ml soy cream

50 gr. light brown sugar (or regular sugar)
vanilla essence
grated rind of one organic lemon
Pine Nut Crunch topping
2 tbsp. light brown sugar
1 tbsp. flour
1 tbsp. cold butter
2 tbsp. pine nuts
PROCEDURE
1. Prepare topping by combining the flour and sugar together.
2. Rub in the butter to form a crumbly texture.
3. Fold in the pine nuts. Set aside until ready to bake.
4. Sprinkle prepared fruit with lemon juice. Set aside.
5. Beat the eggs and sugar until fluffy. Mix in the soy cream, lemon rind and vanilla flavoring.
6. Mix in the flour and baking powder until combined and smooth. (don’t over beat)
