Method

Ingredients

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. Add the eggs and lime zest and combine.

2. Using a wooden spoon, gently fold in the flour making sure no lumps are present.

3. Grease 6 teacups with cooking spray or butter. Spoon the pudding batter into the cups and place on a baking tray, then bake for 15 minutes, or until the puddings have risen and browned slightly.

4. To make the citrusy curd, mix all the ingredients in a mixing bowl.

5. Transfer to a saucepan and stir using a wooden spoon.

6. When the curd is thick enough to coat the back of the spoon, remove it from the heat and serve over the baked puddings.

Cook’s note: Cover the surface of the curd with clingwrap to prevent the curd from forming a “skin”.
