Lemon Surprise Pudding

Ingredients

• 4 eggs, separated
• 100g Shetland butter (at room temperature). You can buy Shetland butter from our online shop .
• 200g caster sugar
• 3 lemons, grated rind and juice
• 100g self-raising flour
• ½ pint (275ml) Shetland milk

Method

1. Butter an ovenproof dish and preheat the oven to 180°C.
2. Beat the butter, sugar and lemon rind until soft then beat in the yolks.
3. Then fold in the flour and stir in the lemon juice and milk. The mixture will look curdled.
4. Whisk the egg whites until stiff and fold in gently with a metal tablespoon.
5. Pour into the greased dish and bake in the centre of the oven for approximately 40 minutes.
6. The pudding is best served warm, sprinkled with a little icing sugar and a 'peerie scar' of Shetland cream.
