Delicious Puddings for Kids - A Winner Every Time

Delicious puddings for kids

I have in my possession, 2 little exercise books, belonging to my dear departed Mother in law Faye. She was taken from us far too early, at just 50 years old. How nice to share these recipes with her great grandchildren, who loved them and would have loved her

Very simple, and a bit hit or miss but I did nail them… and here they are in their glory.
Interestingly the small amount of butter and sugar didn't exactly cream,  but it was well mixed
I find that popping the bowl for 20 seconds in the microwave, containing both the Sugar and butter, makes the creaming much easier.
Don’t melt the butter, just soften
Also, folding the egg whites into the very runny batter, was interesting.
Seemed a bit lumpy but when cooked was just fine
So here we go
Lemon Delicious Pudding

 They wolfed it down. Should feed 4 people, but the 3 of them had second helpings and here is the result. Only slim pickings for Grandma...
