Method
- Put the butter and sugar into a bowl and cream together with an electric mixer, if you have one, until softened and smooth.
- Gradually whisk in the eggs, then fold in the flour and add the lemon zest and juice.
- Spoon the honey into the pudding basin and then add the pudding mixture.
- Cover with a piece of Bakewell paper and then foil, both with a pleat in them to allow for the pudding to rise. Secure with string. Steam for 1½ hrs, topping up the water in the pan, as needed.
- Leave for 5-10 mins. Remove the foil and paper, put a plate on the top and turn the bowl upside down to serve the pudding. Decorate with a few slices of lemon and spoon on more honey, if you like.
Top Tip for making Honey and lemon pudding
Short of time? Microwave the pudding on High for 6 mins, uncovered, and leave to stand for 10 mins.
