Lemon Delicious Pudding - Real Recipes from Mums

A refreshingly lemon light pudding which forms into a cake top with custard pudding underneath.

Ingredients (serves 4)

3 eggs, separated
1/2 cup sugar
30 grams butter, melted
1 cup milk
1/4 cup self raising flour, sifted
1/3 cup lemon juice
pinch salt
1/2 cup sugar, extra

Method

Beat egg yolks with 1/2 cup sugar until light and creamy (like a meringue). Beat in the melted butter, milk, sifted flour, lemon juice and salt.
In a separate bowl bet the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add the extra sugar while still beating until firm peaks form.
Fold the egg whites into the lemon egg yolk mixture.
Pour into a greased 1.5 litre ovenproof dish.
Cook for 50 to 60 minutes at 180 degrees.

Notes

To intensify the lemon flavour and some zing you can also add some lemon rind. Two good sized lemons should give you the 1/3 cup lemon juice needed. You could also use limes or a mixture of lemon and lime.

One of my favourite desserts. If I was asked which dessert I would like it would have to be this one. Luckily our friends had lemon trees

My Mum would cook this dessert everytime she had the oven on for a Sunday roast. I’m going to bring back the memories of this comfort food tonight!

If only I had the oven proof dish. I do have glass bowl and white ceramic bowl. But I guess I can’t use them?
