Lemon Delicious

This is a great classic Kiwi Pudding and I offer you a version of the recipe published by Tui Flower, herself a great Kiwi Classic. She trained in Paris a few years before Julia Child and is best known as the food editor for the New Zealand Women's Weekly. Her great baking prowess is underpinned with sound classical technique and a great respect for method. She's not short of an opinion either.
This Lemon Delicious is a masterpiece of kitchen chemistry and physics. It's a mixture that separates as it cooks, giving a result that has a cakey top and a runny lemony underneath. It's quick to throw together, and it's a pudding that everyone will love.

Ingredients

1 oz butter
1 cup sugar
zest and juice of one lemon
2 eggs, separated
2 Tbl flour
1 cup milk.

Method

Cream the butter and sugar
Add the zest and juice of the lemon
Stir in the flour, and the egg yolks
Add the milk and combine.

In a separate bowl beat the egg whites until stiff
Then fold the egg whites into the batter mixture
Put into a pudding dish in a bain marie
Cook for 1 hour in a 160 oven.
