Ingredients

  • 180g caster sugar

  • 50g butter and extra for buttering the oven dish

  • zest of 3 lemons and 100ml lemon juice

  • 3 eggs, separated

  • 50g plain flour

  • 300ml milk

  • icing sugar, for dusting

Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 170°C and butter a medium size ovenproof dish.

  2. Beat the sugar, butter and zest until light and fluffy. Slowly add in the lemon juice, egg yolks, flour and milk until smooth.

  3. Whisk the egg whites until doubled in volume. Fold in the lemon mix. Scoop the mixture into the ovenproof dish, the mixture will not look completely smooth.

  4. To steam the pudding, add water to a tin larger than your oven dish and place the dish into it. The water should rise halfway up the ovenproof dish. Bake for 35 minutes until the top is set. Dust with icing sugar.
