LEMON DRIZZLE SPONGE PUDDING

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Butter a 30 x 20cm deep baking dish.
• Put the butter and 250g caster sugar in a bowl and beat for 5 mins until pale and fluffy. Whisk in the eggs, then sieve over the flour and baking powder and fold in until you have a batter. Stir in the lemon zest, reserving a little for decoration.
• Spoon the sponge batter into the dish and smooth over the top.
• Mix the lemon juice with the cornflour in a heatproof bowl to make a smooth paste. Mix the remaining 130g caster sugar with 300ml boiling water in a jug, pour over the cornflour mix and whisk until smooth. Pour this over the sponge. Bake for 45-50 mins until golden and set, and the sponge springs back when touched.
• While the pudding is baking, make the lemon drizzle. Mix the icing sugar with enough lemon juice (about half of it) to create a loose consistency. Drizzle over the sponge while it's still warm and decorate with the reserved lemon zest. Serve straightaway with cream or custard.

CUSTARD/PUDDING

Steps:

• Mix together the sugar and cornstarch, then add the eggs. Beat until the mixture is well combined and pale colored.
• In a large saucepan, bring the milk to a boil over miedium-high heat. Stir frequently to keep it from sticking.
• Add a little of the hot milk to the egg mixture, and stir until combined. Then pour the egg mixture into the milk.
• Cook the mixture until it reaches desired thickness, stirring constantly.
• Stir in the vanilla.
• Remove from heat, and place plastic wrap on the surface of the pudding instead of just around the pot. This will prevent a skin from forming while it cools.

SCHOOL DAYS CITRUS PUDDING

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Grease a medium-sized oval baking dish (we used 22 x 18cm) with butter. Combine the butter, caster sugar and zest in a food processor and whizz until the mixture is pale. Add the citrus juice, egg yolks, flour and milk, and whizz until well mixed - it may look a little curdled. Scrape into a bowl. Boil the kettle.
• In a large, clean bowl, whisk the egg whites until firm but not stiff, then gently fold into the zesty mixture. Scrape into the baking dish and put in a roasting tin half-filled with hot water from the kettle. Bake for 35-40 mins until the top is lightly browned and set, but the pudding is still soft-ish underneath. Serve dusted with icing sugar, if you like.
