Step 1

Preheat oven to 200°C. Line a 3cm-deep, 16 x 26cm slice pan with baking paper.

Step 2

Process combined flour, butter, sugar, egg, golden syrup and orange rind in a food processor until dough just comes together. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth. Cut dough into 2 even portions. Press 1 dough portion into the lined pan. Use the back of a spoon to smooth the surface.

Step 3

Spread fruit mince over the base. Roll out remaining dough on a lightly floured surface until 4mm thick. Cut into 1.5cm-wide strips. Arrange half the strips diagonally at 2cm intervals across the top of the slice. Repeat crossways with remaining strips. Trim excess.

Step 4

Bake for 10 minutes or until light golden. Reduce oven to 180°C. Cover with foil. Bake for a further 15-20 minutes or until golden and firm. Set aside in pan to cool completely.

Step 5

Cut the slice into even pieces and dust with icing sugar.
