Serves: 8
Cooking Time: 1 hr 45 mins + overnight for drying

Ingredients

  • Orange crisps

  • 2 oranges, very thinly sliced
  • 45ml (3 tbsp) icing sugar
  • Pudding

  • 20ml (4 tsp) butter, melted
  • 100g butter
  • 100g castor sugar
  • 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 10ml (2 tsp) lemon rind, finely grated
  • 180g self-raising flour
  • 60ml (¼ cup) cake flour
  • 30ml (2 tbsp) milk
  • Granadilla curd

  • 60ml (¼ cup) castor sugar
  • 50g butter
  • 4 granadillas
  • 10ml (2 tsp) lemon rind, finely grated
  • 30ml (2 tbsp) lemon juice
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 190ml (¾ cup) fresh cream

Instructions

1

To make the orange crisps, preheat the oven to 70°C. Lay the orange slices on a lightly greased baking tray, sprinkle with the icing sugar and leave in the oven overnight to dry.

2

Brush a metal pudding bowl with the melted butter and line the base with baking paper.

3

Using an electric beater, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the lemon rind. Fold in the flours and milk until just combined.

4

Preheat the oven to 150°C.

5

Transfer the batter to the prepared pudding dish. Cover with baking paper and a layer of foil, then a lid.

6

Place the covered pudding dish in a deep baking pan and pour boiling water down the sides to come halfway up the sides of the pudding dish.

7

Bake the pudding until a skewer comes out clean, about 1 hour 20 minutes. Add more water if necessary, do not let it boil dry.

8

For the granadilla curd, combine the sugar, butter, granadilla, lemon rind and lemon juice in a bowl over a bain marie and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Add the egg yolks and stir until the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes. Add the cream and stir through until heated.

9

Leave the pudding to stand for 5 minutes before turning out. Pour the granadilla curd over and serve hot, garnished with the orange crisps.
