My sister-in-law Trish e-mailed me this recipe a while back and had I known how fabulous it is, I would certainly not have waited this long before making it. This pudding has the perfect balance between tart and sweet with a soft extremely light crumb and a surprise creamy sauce hiding away at the bottom of the bowl. Think of this as a lemon meringue soufflé that stays risen. Thanks for the lovely recipe Trishy. 
Trish’s Warm Lemon Pudding
Ingredients
60ml flour
170ml brown sugar
2.5ml salt
Rind of 2 lemons
2 extra large eggs separated
170ml full cream milk
60ml lemon juice strained
Cream to serve – optional
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Sift the flour, sugar and salt into a bowl.
- Add the lemon rind.
- Beat the egg yolks with the milk and lemon juice, and stir into the flour mixture.
- Beat the egg whites until stiff and fold into the lemon mixture.
- Divide the mixture between 6 to 8 ramekins and place in a baking pan of hot water.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until a skewer comes out clean.

Here in Australia, this is called a Lemon Delicious pudding and was a regular on our table when I was growing up. It is the perfect comfort food!

How rude, your comment landed up in my spam folder, sorry about that! Thank you for the lovely compliment Sue! Pete got me the Canon 60mm 1:2.8 lens. It really is a magnificent lens – it’s just the user that’s a bit dof at the moment. I am scheduling a post about it for the first week of June. I want to try get a bit more of a handle on it first… *she says bravely* I really should look at going on a course. Enjoy the pud, it’s scrumity! have a wonderful weekend.

You lucky fish! I couldn’t afford that one. I’m hoping to pick up some tips at the Food Bloggers Indaba next month, I am doing photography workshop, will share anything I pick up. I also need to go on a course, but I need a real beginners one.
By: Sous Chef on May 28, 2012
at 11:42
I know! Seriously spoilt! Wish I could go to the Indaba but after my lens that’s it for now. So jealous that you are going AND that you are doing the photography workshop – thrilled though that you have offered to be my eyes and ears, thank you! *big hug* Would be awesome to be able to go on a beginners course together – always more fun than on your own. Have a happy day.
