Lemon Delicious

Step 1: Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F and grease a 1.5-litre (6-cup) ovenproof baking dish and place on an oven tray.

Step 2: Beat butter, rind and sugar in a small bowl with an electric mixer until pale and fluffy and then beat in egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition, until thick and creamy and now whisk in flour, milk and juice until well combined.

Step 3: Beat egg whites in a small bowl with an electric mixer until firm peaks form and then gently fold egg whites into lemon mixture, in two batches, until combined. Pour mixture into prepared dish.

Step 4: Bake pudding for 45 minutes or until the top is golden and just firm to the touch. Serve immediately, dusted with sifted icing sugar and drizzle with a little pouring cream, if you like.

Step 5: NOTE -This pudding needs to be served straight from the oven or the pudding will sink and absorb most of the sauce. You can make this pudding in six 1-cup (250ml) ovenproof baking dishes; you will need to reduce the baking time, until the centre is firm to the touch.
