Grandma’s Recipe of the Month
Lemons have what it takes to make a perfect dessert. Grandma Abson’s Lemon Delicious Pudding is the latest ‘Recipe of the Month’
at Tim
& Jane's Tasty Flavours in Doncaster Market Award winning
International Food Hall. We’re collaborating on
getting people to bake easy recipes with simple ingredients to buy straight from Tim and Jane’s. This month's is proving very popular. It’s one of my favourites, as I like the way the mixture separates into a curd at the base and sponge on the top.
4 oz/110g caster sugar
2 oz/50g
butter
2 oz/50g
plain flour
2 lemons –
juice & zest
¼ pint/150ml milk
3 eggs, separated
Cream the sugar and butter. Add the
flour, lemon juice and zest and mix in. Beat the egg yolks in the milk and add
to the rest of the mixture. Beat the egg whites until stiff and fold into the
creamed mixture with a metal spoon. Bake in a greased 1½ pint/1 litre pie dish
for 35 -45 minutes. (350F, Mark 4, 180C)
Meryl’s tips : Grandma
Abson's recipe has weights for
a smaller pudding but I’ve made it here with 2 lemons and have slightly increased
the amount of butter, plain flour and added an extra egg to make a slightly
larger pudding. That’s the great thing about Grandma’s recipes – you can adapt
them and they still work out brilliantly.
Lemons
are pretty underestimated in the baking world so don’t forget to check out many
