Method

  • step 1

    Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Whizz the butter, sugar and lemon zest until they are pale and creamy in a food processor. Add the lemon juice, yolks, flour, milk and vanilla one by one until you have a smooth batter. Whisk the egg whites until firm but not stiff, and fold the mixtures together.

  • step 2

    Pour into a buttered ovenproof soufflé or baking dish and put it in a baking tray half filled with hot water. Bake for 45-50 minutes until the top is lightly browned and set and there is a gooey lemon curd below. Serve hot with or without cream.

question

Can I make the mixture a couple of hours before cooking or will it go flat?

Hi, thanks for your question. Because it contains whisked egg whites it needs to be baked as soon as it's prepared. If you need to get ahead then you can make the batter a couple of hours in advance (and keep in a cool place) and then all you need to do is whisk the eggs whites and fold into the…
