Self-Sufficiency in Style

recipe

lemon pudding

 

       

We grow lemons in a conservatory. They are far juicier and tastier than anything you can buy in the supermarket.

This is a favourite way of using them. 

A recipe that makes the best of good quality lemons. Most of the ingredients are produced on the small-holding.

Serves Four


Delicious hot or cold

 

2 oz Butter

Grated rind and 3 tablespoons of fresh juice 

4 oz Granulated Sugar

2 eggs - separated

2 oz Self-raising Flour

9 fluid oz Milk

 

Place butter, sugar and lemon rind in a large bowl. Whisk until pale and soft.

Add the egg yolks and flour and beat well.

Stir in the milk and lemon juice.

Whisk the egg whites until stiff and then fold into the lemon mixture.

Pour into a buttered oven-proof dish and stand the dish in a shallow tin of water.

Cook in the oven at 200 degrees C (400 degrees F or gas mark 6) for about 45 minutes.

The top should be set and spongy to the touch with a custard-like layer underneath.

You can return to the Diary to find a little more about growing Lemons in a temperate climate.
