This is absolutely gorgeous, dead easy to make and can be adapted easily to make a posh dinner party pud by cooking in ramekins instead of a big dish.
You get a lovely light sponge top and a delicious, zingy lemon curd underneath.
Ingredients:
50g butter, softened
200g caster sugar
100ml lemon juice
1 lemon, zested (then use the juice towards the 100ml)
3 eggs, separated
50g plain flour
250ml milk
icing sugar (for dusting)
Method
Heat oven to 108C/fan160C/gas 4
Whizz butter, sugar and lemon zest until pale and creamy.
Add lemon juice, egg yolks, flour and milk one by one and whizz until you have a smooth batter
Whisk egg whites until firm, but not stiff.
Fold whites into the lemon mixture until fully incorporated
Pour into a buttered ovenproof dish
Put dish into a baking tray, and fill with hot water about halfway up the side of the dish
Bake for 40-45 mins until the top is lightly browned and the pudding is set.
Take the dish out of the water, dust top of pudding with icing sugar and serve hot. Doesn't need anything with it, although cream is very nice (and very naughty!)
