    Instructions

    1

    To make the orange crisps, preheat the oven to 70°C. Lay the orange slices on a lightly greased baking tray, sprinkle with the icing sugar and leave in the oven overnight to dry.

    2

    Brush a metal pudding bowl with the melted butter and line the base with baking paper.

    3

    Using an electric beater, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the lemon rind. Fold in the flours and milk until just combined.

    4

    Preheat the oven to 150°C.

    5

    Transfer the batter to the prepared pudding dish. Cover with baking paper and a layer of foil, then a lid.

    6

    Place the covered pudding dish in a deep baking pan and pour boiling water down the sides to come halfway up the sides of the pudding dish.

    7

    Bake the pudding until a skewer comes out clean, about 1 hour 20 minutes. Add more water if necessary, do not let it boil dry.

    8

    For the granadilla curd, combine the sugar, butter, granadilla, lemon rind and lemon juice in a bowl over a bain marie and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Add the egg yolks and stir until the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes. Add the cream and stir through until heated.

    9

    Leave the pudding to stand for 5 minutes before turning out. Pour the granadilla curd over and serve hot, garnished with the orange crisps.
