Steamy Lime Puds

If you’re a fan of steamed pudding you can’t go past this recipe from Barker’s of Geraldine using their new NZ squeezed Lime Curd.

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.
