Steamy Lime Puds
Ingredients: Makes 8
• 1 Jar (370g) Barker’s NZ Lime Curd
• 1 cup plain flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 2 tsp grated lime zest
• ½ cup caster sugar
• 100g unsalted butter
• ¾ cup milk
• 2 eggs
• 2 Tbsp oil for greasing
• You will need 8 x ½ cup capacity ramekins
Method:
• Pre heat oven to 200°C fan bake. Grease the sides of each ramekin with oil.
• Spread the lime curd into the bottom of each ramekin and stand them in an ovenproof dish filled with warm water (to come half-way up the sides of the ramekins).
• Sift flour and baking powder into a bowl and stir in the lime zest and sugar.
• Cut the butter into small pieces and, using your fingertips, rub the butter into the flour mixture.
• Beat the eggs and milk together, make a well in the flour mixture and stir in the egg mixture to form a batter.
• Pour the batter over the lime curd in the ramekins, distributing it evenly.
• Cover the ovenproof dish with foil, leaving room for the mixture to rise.
• Bake for 40 – 45 minutes. Turn out each pudding onto a serving plate. Top with a dab of whipped cream and fruit.
