Double lemon slice

It's really unfair to have a cup of tea without a cake, a slice, or a biscuit. This is one of my favourites, a super easy double lemon slice, with both lemon and lemon myrtle.

A three-deep stack of slice pieces sits of a flat black plate. Each piece of light brownish-caramel coloured slice is toped with pale icing.
