Now that it’s winter, I love a good hot dessert. When I was a kid, I used to make a derivative of this pudding regularly – chocolate, butterscotch, lemon, caramel… you could do almost anything. I think the original recipe was called “light and luscious lemon delicious” or something equally as wordy, but it was all of those things – light, luscious and delicious.
And although it’s self-saucing, that doesn’t mean you don’t need cream!
Lemon Self-Saucing Pudding
Ingredients:
- 60g butter
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- zest of 1 lemon
- 1 cup Self-raising flour
- 1/2 cup milk
Sauce:
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 1/2 cups hot water
Directions:
Preheat oven to 180C
1. Cream the butter, sugar and lemon zest. beat in the egg.
2. Add the flour and the milk and mix until combined.
3. Spoon into a baking dish (a small one with high sides is good), and sprinkle the sugar over.
4. Very carefully pour over the hot water and lemon juice.
5. Bake 30-40 minutes until brown on top and sauce is bubbling at the sides.
mmmmmm….I reckon I'll give this a go tomorrow night, so yeah, you're right, thank you!

On pay day I am buying a pudding bowl and Princess and I are going to make this! I love pudding, but have never made it. Which would explain why I have no pudding bowl …
Yum. I made this last weekend and it was a huge hit. Unfortunately I only got a small taste so I'll be making it again very soon. Really delicious.
