lovely lemon curdy pud

I've made this twice - the first time I forgot to add the milk and it made a nice lemon cake! Today I mixed the lemon juice with the milk and let it stand whilst I got on with the creaming and it soured it into lumps. But it tasted nice. I'll try again tomorrow for perfection. <br /> P.S. cold water or boiling in the bain marie?

i like your recipes . we watch you here from algeria all my family like you and love your clever style .meriem

it's just super awesome! i can't believe i managed to baked it and it's super easy and simple. Taste absolutely brilliant! Thanks Jamie!

I'm sorry, I haven't made this recipe yet because I don't understand what "stan the dish in a roasting tin" means. I would be very grateful if someone could explain it to me :)

yummmmmy!!!!!

This is an old family favorite - my Nana used to make it, as did my Mum and I've made it for our family for years - all of whom love it. Nana was from England, so assume she may have came across it there - although I did hear once that it is also an 'old army favourite' here in New Zealand (haven't had that confirmed). I believe the army know it as 'Lemon Delicious' but we always knew it as 'Lemon Souffle'. Good to see the recipe being revived and enjoyed all over again. I serve it with light hokey pokey ice cream - a 'kiwi' thing to do. In this month's issue of NZ's 'Taste' magazine (Sept 11) a very similar one was used but it left out the lemon and used pink grapefruit as the citrus flavour.

I have made a similar recipe on the joyofbaking.com It turns out perfect every time and we always polish it all off! The only difference I see is the joyofbaking.com adds cream of tartar to her egg whites.

I am fascinated to see the above comments. I have cooked many of your recipes.They are good. Particularly the bread. I am a chef. But the lemon curdy pudding is not a good one. The mixture curdles and separates when the milk is added and then collapses and shrinks in the oven even although the egg whites have been folded in carefully and there is no over mixing. Sorry to burst your bubble after all the cheesy comments on your site. But I'm being hoest. I've made it twice now and the same result - not good. I've made many souffles and it is a bit like one but no its not good. Why is it a disaster. I wonder if it would be better if the lemon zest were added at the end with the juice. I believe it makes the rest curdle. Help please!!!!

i'm eating it right now.....delic.
Thank you for the great recipe

Definately "2 thumbs up"!!

I've made this a few times and it turns out perfectly every time! Comforting with a lemon zing, everyone in my family loves it.

This is sensational and an excellent simple recipe, we finished it in less than 10 minutes... yum yum.. Anna

This fabulous recipe has the guests swooning every time (there's one in the Aga right now for me)

I have am baking this in the oven this very second. The top was cooked about five minutes ago so I've turned it down to 120. I am very panicked but very excited! Only 15 minutes left. And it does look great in a Pyrex dish!
WOOOO lemon Pudding!!

är den nÃgot att rekomendera?

man i dont know how to thx u for this job i was just a dish washer at lodge but today iam a HEAD CHEF cause iam watchining every single thing of u TV,BOOKS,WEPSITES man everything of u THX FOR BEING THERE FOR ME

Hi,what can i use if i don't have the self rising flour? Thanx :P

I love this recipe! I have made it several times for my family and they love it! Jamie is right when he says it is dead easy! I have also made this in single serving bowls. It is a great posh pudding to whip up in a flash. It's tangy meets sweet!

I shall make this pudding tomorrow for my father (aged 87) and his neighbor (aged 84) because I have been trying to find a lemon cake recipe which they both adore. Its one where you turn the cake over when cooked and while still warm pour over lemon juice and sugar which alters the texture. In any case I trust your pudding will be an excellent substitute! Am also intending to make the turkey and sweet leek pie which I watched you make on TV recently. I always find it easier once I have watched you do it. Very pleased to be able to visit this site!

delicious! first spoonful has been a travel back to my childhood
My grandma used to prepare custard as a special treat for my brother and me

Thanks Jamie, delish dessert! We meet for a big family dinner once a week and take it in turns cooking, making dessert, or cleaning up. It was our turn to make dessert and this went down a treat - Nice! We may add raisins next time. Big smiles, Shell & Luke xoxo

My friend has been on my case about making a lemon dessert. This went down a treat. Thanks heaps. Can't wait to find some more new recipes to make even more delicious food.

Dear Sir/Madam,

Having seen the Jamie Oliver cooking sauces range in the UK I am keen to distribute them in Spain and would like to know if you have an export price list, based on UK collection.

Your Sincerely,

Kerry McCarthy

Hello I have just made this and considering I have a very old cooker from the 50's It worked really well ( it took much longer though as my temp is way out but I love the look of this old cooker!). I nearly chucked the mixture away though as raw it looked like it had curdled, but I thought oh well chuck it in and I did and it worked (I had also doubled the mixture to make a huge one!) The only thing I would say is for me it needed more lemon as I wanted a sharp kick to it. I will be showing this one off though to look like my own! Thanks

this sounds delish, will try it on Sunday after roast chicken, yum

Made this tonight, absolutely delicious, my 6 yer old loved it too! I used a fan oven so reduced the temp to 180 ish. Perfect, thank you :)

I'm hoping we'll see your new show on Food Tv Network in Canada?
I managed to see a bit of it online on the British Channel, but kept losing the feed.
It's a fantastic idea and good for you to be the one to champian it Jamie.
I'm thinking of starting a cooking group soon and will use your cookbooks, (I think I have all of them) this will be my way of helping to pass it on.

i made this for a food practical at school yesterday and i used brown sugar, it went slightly caremalised and tasted georgous. And tasted lovely with a little bit of evaperated milk.

Go Jamie....you gorgeous boy...I love the way you think n what you are doing all over the world. We'll be watching here in Adelaide,South Australia. One small favor Jamie....Can we please see you wash yr hands more often,this message is very important to get out. Best Wishes. Neva Wright.

I made this last night using the top elec fan oven and reduced temp to 180o but it singed on top by 35 mins and slightly sunk after coming out! After slicing off the underneath was lush though and very comforting on a cold night! will try cooking in main oven next time as think was too close to heating element maybe?
