Rich lemon-butter egg filling baked in a pre-baked puff-pastry-lined pudding dish.

Method

Steps

  1. Step 1

    For the proposed rough puff, toss cold butter through flour and salt, add cold water until a rough dough forms, then roll to a rectangle and fold in thirds. Chill 20 minutes; repeat rolling and folding twice, chilling between turns. Roll to about 3 mm for the shapes required below.

  2. Step 2

    Heat oven to 190 °C and butter a 23 cm pudding dish. Line with rough puff, trim, chill and blind-bake about 15 minutes until puffed and lightly golden.

  3. Step 3

    Cream 225 g soft butter with powdered sugar; beat in lemon zest, juice and six yolks. Beat six whites to a soft froth and fold through gently.

  4. Step 4

    Fill the pastry-lined dish and bake about 30–40 minutes until the egg filling is set through and top golden. Cool enough to portion.
