Fastest-ever lemon pudding

[Sylvia]

These quantities would serve 4

You will need:

4 ozs Golden caster sugar
4 ozs softened butter
4 ozs self-raising flour
2 eggs
zest of 1 lemon
1 tbsp vanilla extract
4 tbsp lemon curd
Creme fraiche or ice cream to serve with it

Mix the sugar, butter, flour, eggs, lemon zest and vanilla together until creamy (I used my mixer) Then spoon into a medium microwave-proof bowl

Microwave on high for three minutes, until risen and set all the way through. Let stand for two minutes.

Meanwhile heat the lemon curd for 30 seconds in the microwave and stir until smooth

Pour all over the top of the pudding and serve with a dollop of ice cream, cream fraiche etc. Enjoy!

Hi Sylvia! Could you, please describe to we US members what "CASTOR SUGAR" is? Thanks so much!

Hi Chris

Caster/Castor sugar is finer than granulated and creams, mixes and melts quicker. Sometimes called superfine sugar. We use caster for making cakes and meringues. It isn’t as fine as icing (confectioner) sugar. I didn’t realise it wasn’t a universal sugar. Sometimes when I am a bit short of caster sugar for a recipe I put granulated in my processor and pulse it a few times - maybe if you can’t source caster you could try this.

You could have a look at: www.google.com/search?sourceid=gmail&q=Caster%20Sugar
