Luscious Lemon Curd and Gooey Golden Syrup Sponges

With some lemon curd to use up and looking for a way to try out some individual pudding bowls I bought with no purpose in mind, I decided to make some steamed sponges for pudding this evening. Incredibly simple, but they were very light and tasted pretty good :) . The following makes 2 tall or 3 medium puddings:

  • Using a hand whisk or otherwise, cream 50g sugar with 50g butter/margarine.
  • Beat in 1 egg.
  • Mix in 50g self-raising flour and 1tbsp lemon curd.
  • Grease a small pudding bowl (mine are ~175ml) and put about a tablespoon (or to taste!) of lemon curd in the bottom. Fill to roughly 2/3 height, top with a pleated square of foil and tie with string.
  • Steam over boiling water for ~45mins, or until the sponge is... spongey! Turn out and enjoy!


Left, lemon curd and right, golden syrup steamed sponge puddings (for the latter just replace the lemon curd with... golden syrup).
