Ingredients
- 4 Tbsp unsalted butter, cut into small cubes, plus more for the dish
- 1 cup caster / superfine sugar
- 1 Tbsp lemon zest
- 1/2 cup lemon juice (about 2 large lemons)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- Pinch of salt
- 3 large eggs, separated
- 1 1/2 cups full-fat milk
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- Whipped cream or creme fraiche, to serve
- Icing sugar, small lemon slices, raspberries, and mint sprigs, to decorate
Method
- Heat the oven to 350°F. Butter a 6-cup baking dish and set it in a deep roasting pan.
- Cream the butter and sugar until pale, then beat in the lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla, and salt.
- Beat in the egg yolks one at a time, then whisk in the milk and flour until you have a thin, smooth batter.
- In a clean bowl, whisk the egg whites to soft peaks and fold them gently through the batter in two additions, keeping as much air as possible.
- Pour the batter into the dish. Pour hot water into the roasting pan to come halfway up the dish.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the top is golden, spongy, and just set, with sauce beneath.
- Dust with icing sugar, decorate as you like, and serve warm with whipped cream or creme fraiche.
