Lemon Delicious Pudding
One serving has 320 kcal and 7 g protein, and at least a fifth of a woman's daily need of selenium (28%), riboflavin (27%), cobalamin (21%) and choline (20%). Ready in 55 minutes.

- Preparation: 15 min
- Cooking: 40 min
- Makes: 1 serving (201 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Vegetarian
- Contains: dairy, egg, gluten
Ingredients
- 10 g Butter, unsalted
- 30 g Sugar
- 25 g Eggs, whole, raw
- 15 g Flour, all-purpose
- 60 g Milk, whole
- 20 g Lemon juice
- 1 g Lemon zest
- 40 g Water
Method
- Heat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F) and butter a small ovenproof dish; set it in a larger baking dish.
- Beat the butter with two-thirds of the sugar until light, then beat in the egg and lemon zest.
- Fold in the flour, then gradually stir in the milk and lemon juice — the batter will look thin and curdled, which is normal.
- Pour into the buttered dish.
- Dissolve the remaining sugar in the boiling water and pour gently over the batter, without stirring.
- Pour hot water into the outer dish to come halfway up the sides (a water bath) and bake for 35-40 minutes until the top is golden and springy.
- Serve warm — it separates into a light sponge on top and a tangy lemon sauce underneath.
- This is 1 individual pudding; multiply everything by 4 and bake in one larger dish for a family-size pudding.
