- 60 g butter softened
- 2 lemons Grated zest of 1 and the juice of 2
- 1 cup caster sugar
- 3 eggs separated
- 3 tablespoons self-raising flour
- 1 ¼ cups whole milk
Preheat the oven to 180oC.
Using an electric mixer or food processor, cream the butter with the lemon rind and sugar until it is creamy and light in colour.
Beat in the egg yolks. Mix well.
Stir in the sifted flour alternatively with the milk to make a smooth batter. Blend in the lemon juice. Beat the egg whites until firm, and fold gently into the mixture using a metal spoon.
Pour the mixture into a buttered ovenproof dish (I use a casserole dish) that will fit inside a bigger dish. Fill the bigger dish with enough boiling water to come halfway up the sides (a water bath). Bake for approximately 40 minutes. Serve warm dusted with icing sugar and serve with cream or ice cream. Note - If you want individual puddings, divide the mixture into 6 individual buttered ramekins and bake for 20 minutes.

n.b - For a real flavour boost, you could add a tablespoon of lemon curd or wonderful marmalade to the mix.
