Lovely Lemon Curdy Pud

method

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Cream the butter, sugar and lemon rind in a mixing bowl. Add the egg yolks and flour and beat in, then add the milk and 3 tablespoons of lemon juice and mix well.
Whisk the egg whites in a separate bowl until stiff, then add the rest of the mixture. Mix it all well but don’t overmix it; you don’t want the air to come out of the egg whites. Pour into a buttered ovenproof dish, stand the dish in a roasting pan about a third full of water, then bake in your preheated oven for about 45 minutes until the top is set and spongy and it’s a nice golden color.
