Lemon delicious pudding
Lemon delicious is a classic for a reason! As much as I love experimenting with new recipes, there’s just something about a good old-fashioned pud when I’m craving comfort food.
Ingredients
- 70 g butter softened
- ¾ cup caster sugar
- 3 eggs separated
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- ¼ cup self-raising flour
- ¾ cup milk
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- icing sugar for dusting
- vanilla ice cream to serve
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C. Lightly butter a medium ovenproof serving dish.
- In a bowl combine the butter and sugar and whisk with an electric beater for 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy. Add egg yolks and beat for a further 2-3 minutes until thick. Fold in the lemon zest, flour and milk then stir in the lemon juice.
- Whisk the egg whites until they form firm, white peaks then fold into the creamed mixture. Pour into the greased dish and bake for 45-50 minutes or until puffed and golden.
- Dust with icing sugar and serve with vanilla ice cream.
