Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or individual ramekins.
Zest and juice the lemon. Set aside 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and the zest separately.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition until well combined.
Stir in the lemon zest and the 2 tablespoons of lemon juice.
In a separate bowl, mix the self-raising flour and finely ground almonds.
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Slowly pour in the milk, stirring constantly to make a smooth, thin batter.
Pour the batter into your prepared baking dish or ramekins.
Sprinkle the flaked almonds over the top of the batter. Then, evenly sprinkle the brown sugar over the almonds.
Place the dish or ramekins in the preheated oven and bake for about 35-40 minutes, or until the pudding is set and the top is golden brown. The center should be slightly wobbly but will firm up as it cools.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Serve warm for the best texture and flavor.
Tips:
- Ensure the butter is at room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother batter.
- Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor, though bottled lemon juice can be a substitute in a pinch.
- For an added crunch, lightly toast the almonds before incorporating them into the mixture.
- Sift the self-raising flour to avoid lumps and ensure an even texture.
- Let the dessert cool slightly before serving to allow the flavors to meld together perfectly.
Your Lemon and Almond Delicious is now ready to serve. This exquisite dessert, with its harmonious balance of lemony zest and nutty almonds, is sure to leave a lasting impression on your taste buds. Enjoy every bite and don’t hesitate to share this delightful recipe with friends and family.
