Lemon Delicious Pudding

Ingredients

• 30g unsalted butter
• 30g margarine
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 3 eggs, separated
• 2 teaspoons finely grated lemon and/or lime zest
• 1/4 cup self-raising flour
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1/3 cup lemon and/or lime juice

Method

• Heat oven to 180C.
• Blend butter, sugar, 2 egg yolks (discard 1), and lemon/lime zest until light and fluffy.
• Add flour and mix.
• Add milk to form a smooth batter.
• Stir in lemon/lime juice.
• Whisk egg whites until firm (so you can turn the bowl upside down), and fold into the batter.
• Pour into mixture into a 5 cup capacity souffle dish. Place this dish in a large baking tin filled with enough hot water to come a third of the way up the side of the dish.
• Bake for 50 minutes, until the top is golden and risen.

Note: can be baked in 6 individual dishes. Reduce baking time to 30 minutes in this case.
