From another Crazy Quilter:

Lemon Pudding

Ingredients

1 tablespoon butter

1 cup sugar

1 cup milk

juice and rind of 1 lemon (I just use the juice)

2 rounded tablespoons plain flour

2 eggs

Cream butter and sugar (note just mix them well together as there is too much sugar and not enough butter to cream it in the traditional way).

Add flour and yolks of eggs. Beat well.

Add milk and lemon.

Fold in stiffly beaten egg whites then place mixture in pie dish or casserole dish.

Stand pie dish in a baking dish of hot water and bake slowly for at least 40 minutes. Place in refrigerator to cool completely before eating.

Note: Orange or 4 passion fruit or pineapple may be used instead of lemon.

Extra note: I sometimes use four small ramekins instead of one big dish if I want to individually serve them. If you wanted to make them for a special occasion - cook them in the ramekins, when cool just before serving - dust them with icing sugar and add a dollop of whipped cream.

This is from one of my Grandmothers recipe books - it is as old as I am. Which is really scary when you think about it.
