Method

  1. Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Whizz the butter, sugar and lemon zest until they are pale and creamy in a food processor. Add the lemon juice, yolks, flour, milk and vanilla one by one until you have a smooth batter. Whisk the egg whites until firm but not stiff, and fold the mixtures together.
  2. Pour into a buttered ovenproof soufflé or baking dish and put it in a baking tray half filled with hot water. Bake for 45-50 minutes until the top is lightly browned and set and there is a gooey lemon curd below. Serve hot with or without cream.

    Outrageously moreish. I made it for someone coming over for dinner, but we had very small portions in the end as I picked at it all day. Check it about 10-minutes before the end of cooking time, as it can brown quickly.

    We had this for dessert tonight. So good! I served it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side. I just love these self-saucing pudding cakes but in the past could only make them from a mix. One more from scratch to add to my recipe file!

    I used this recipe and found it far too sweet, which was improved by adding some cream. Next time i will half the sugar, because everything else about the recipe works.

    I love this recipe, but I could not taste the vanilla. No difference between this and the standard lemon pudding from the site that I have been making for ages.

    this is one of the best lemon puddle puddings i've ever made. I took it out of the oven after 40 minutes and it was cooked to perfection, and i left out the vanilla. Everyone loved it!

    It was scrummy. However the sauce was more like lemon custard and I couldn't make out what size dish to use and think my dish was to big. Please help:)

    It was delicious but the sauce like lemon custard. I would like to know the size of the dish as a souffle dish doesn't mean much to me. I will definitely make it again.

    The taste was too sweet for me, anyway delicious. The top was too thin and because of the thick curd it didn't look nice.
