Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • 55 g Unsalted Butter Adds richness and moisture; use any unsalted butter for better flavor.
  • 115 g Sugar Sweetens the pudding; coconut sugar can be a delightful alternative.
  • 2 large Free-Range Eggs Provides structure; ensure they're at room temperature for easier mixing.
  • 55 g Self-Raising Flour Gives lift to the sponge; substitute with all-purpose flour and 1½ tsp baking powder.
  • 285 ml Milk Adds moisture; feel free to use non-dairy milk if needed.
For the Lemon Sauce
  • 1 lemon Lemon Zest Provides aromatic citrus flavor; always opt for fresh zest.
  • 3 tablespoons Lemon Juice Adds a refreshing tartness; freshly squeezed is key to avoiding a flat taste.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 200ºC (400ºF) and grease a 1.5-liter ovenproof dish thoroughly.
  2. Cream together 55 grams of softened unsalted butter and 115 grams of sugar until pale and fluffy.
  3. Add egg yolks one at a time into the mixture, beating well after each addition, then gradually sift in 55 grams of self-raising flour.
  4. Gently stir in 285 ml of milk and about 3 tablespoons of lemon juice until well combined.
  5. Whisk the 2 large free-range egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  6. Carefully fold the whipped egg whites into the lemon batter, being gentle to retain as much air as possible.
  7. Pour the batter into the greased dish and place it within a larger roasting pan filled with boiling water up to one-third up the sides of the pudding dish.
  8. Bake for approximately 45 minutes until the top is golden brown and has a slight wobble.
  9. Let it cool slightly before serving, and enjoy with cream or vanilla ice cream.

Notes

For best results, use fresh ingredients and ensure eggs are at room temperature. The water bath is crucial for even cooking and moisture retention.
