Granny's Lemon Delicious

Step 1: Grease a 4 cup ovenproof dish and place onto a baking tray.

Step 2: Separate 2 of the eggs, placing egg yolks in a saucepan and whites into a clean dry bowl.

Step 3: Add remaining egg (yolk and white), 1/2 cup of the sugar, lemon zest and juice and 1 cup boiling water to the saucepan with egg yolks and whisk well until combined.

Step 4: Mix cornflour and 1/2 cup cold water in a small bowl until smooth and add to the saucepan and stir over medium heat until mixture boils and thickens and pour into prepared dish and leave to cool.

Step 5: Meanwhile, beat egg whites with remaining sugar until thick and glossy and dollop over pudding and swirl roughly.

Step 6: Using a kitchen blow torch brown the meringue until golden and serve warm.

Step 7: TIP no kitchen blow torch? Preheat oven to 190C and bake pudding for 15 to 20 minutes or until meringue is golden.
