Method

  1. Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Lightly grease 4 mini pudding basins. Thin the lemon curd with 1 tbsp lemon juice and divide between the basins, then scatter in half the stem ginger.
  2. Put the basins in a roasting tin. Put the kettle on to boil.
  3. Cream the reduced-fat spread and caster sugar together with the lemon zest until fluffy then gradually beat in the egg, followed by the flour and baking powder. Add the lemon juice, plus 2 tbsp warm water to give a pourable batter.
  4. Divide between the basins, then pour boiling water into the roasting tin to come halfway up the basins. Cover the tin with a tent of foil and bake for 20-25 minutes until risen and cooked through. Leave to settle for 5 minutes, then turn out and serve.

    I can't normally be bothered with puds and am not a huge lemon curd fan but my mum wanted to try these. They were sooo good. Piping hot with lots of custard - yum, I'll do them again.

    Served this for a formal lunch. I used all the stem ginger for the topping. Really good with vanilla icecream or custard.
