Tips for a perfect result
- Preheat your oven to the correct temperature – not too hot, or your pudding will be overcooked on the outside and raw in the middle.
- Use a good quality lemon – fresh if possible. The zest and juice will flavour your pudding perfectly.
- Be precise with your measuring – too much or too little of an ingredient can ruin the pudding.
- Cook the pudding until it is just set – don’t overcook it or it will be dry.
- Allow the pudding to cool slightly before serving – this will help it to retain its shape. Serve with a dollop of fresh cream or lemon curd for extra deliciousness!
