With almost 1 lemon per serve baked into this pudding, it truly earns the title of ‘ultimate lemon delicious’. Save those old wrinkly lemons headed to the compost or bin and refresh them with this pudding instead!

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp butter, softened, plus extra for greasing
  • ¾ cup caster sugar
  • 2 tbsp plain flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180˚C (fan-forced). Grease a 28 cm oval baking dish with butter and set aside.
