Julia’s notes. 

I am sure my grandmother won’t mind me giving some notes on the recipe. She would want you to have the perfect slice. From what I can remember from it, here are some tips. 

When I made this, the consistency of the biscuit base was a little too wet so add the margarine and condensed milk a little at a time. You want a crumbly texture like wet sand. When making the icing, if you have a particularly big lemon you may need to add more icing sugar. Although Ma didn’t write down exactly how much icing sugar was needed, I used about 2 ½ cups for a big lemon. You want the consistency of thick honey.
