When life gives you lemons (in the middle of winter) you make Lemon Delicious Pudding! 😋🍋

Who doesn’t love a warm dessert on a cold, dark night! Bring some sunshine into your dining room with this Gemini Season recipe!

Gemini peeps need lots of potassium as their non-stop brain activity burns through this mineral, so lemons are on the menu!

This is a recipe I’ve had for many years and I’m not sure of it’s source!

Ingredients

40 g butter, softened

3/4 cup sugar (I prefer coconut or rapadura)

1 tsp finely grated lemon rind

2 free range eggs, with yolks and whites separated

2 tbs flour (if using GF flour you will need a little more, perhaps heap your spoons!)

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/3 cup lemon juice

1 cup milk of choice

Method

1. Preheat oven to 160 degrees. Grease 4-cup capacity ceramic ovenproof dish.

2. *Beat butter and sugar with electric mixer until light and creamy (this takes a while!)

3. Add lemon rind and eggs yolks to creamed butter & sugar and mix until smooth

4. Sift flour and baking powder over mixture and mix to combine

5. Add lemon juice and milk to mixture and beat until smooth again

6. Beat egg whites in a separate bowl until stiff peaks form (*NB I actually try to remember to do this first so that I only use one mixer and save washing up – just put it aside in a clean bowl if you do until this step!)

7. Fold egg whites into pudding mixture, using a metal spoon

8. Pour mixture into the greased dish

9. Bake for 40 mins until top is golden.

10. Serve with cream or ice cream. Enjoy!
