This is so perfect for a high tea, or something a little bit special. Elegant, scented with vanilla and lemon, my two favourite flavours for just about anything sweet, and with a delicious pistachio studded shortcrust that would be perfect baked into its own biscuit to be honest.

You can make this well in advance of needing it. I hope you have a special occasion in mind, because it is all that and more!
