A steamed lemon pudding+ treacle soaked kiwis for the Daring Bakers

It is the 27th of the month and the day the Daring bakers post. This was the only challenge that I had finished way too early. The challenge was to make a very British dish with a very British ingredient., a steamed (not baked) pudding with the very British ingredient being Suet. Now what is a suet? It is ahard animal fat and that is something that is never used at home and not really in a pudding. So there that was a reason for me not doing the challenge. But then when the hostess usggested one can use butter or shortening in place of suet, I was relieved because steamed pudding especially christmas and sticky date puddings and this was one chance to try an alternative. 

I have been wanting to try hot lemon puddings that I used to relish at an elderly aunt's place. Any dessert she makes is of the citrus flavour. She usually makes them in  alarge dish. I decided to make individual puddings to serve just my husband and myself. However hard I've tried she just does not divulge the recipe. I have trying a lot of recipes since and here's one that came very close to one she makes.

I used 2 ramekins as moulds. So here's the recipe:

1/2 C unsalted butter

1 C of powdered sugar (vary this according to how sour the lemons are)

2 eggs

1 C of  Flour

1t Baking powder

1 t Bakingsoda

Zest and juice of 2 lemons

In a heat proof bowl placed over a bowl of simmering hot water, whisk the eggs and sugar to a smooth consistency.  Beat in the butter and whisk until a thick creamy mixture is attained. Cool this. Sift the flour, baking powder and baking soda and fold it into the butter mixture. Fold in the zest and juice finally.

Grease 2 ramekins and spoon the mixture in them. Double seal the ramekins with foil. Place in a steamer ensuring that water reaches a third of the sides of the rameking. Steam for about an hour and cool and then unmould.

The aunt serves lemon curd with this but I served them with sugar and lemon juice steeped kiwi slices and drizzled with treacle...
