Lemon delicious pudding is an Australian and New Zealand dessert. [1] As the pudding bakes, it separates, and the bottom remains a liquid lemony sauce while the top becomes fluffy and sponge-like. [2] [3] Similar recipes can be found in English cookbooks as far back as the 17th century. [4]
A recipe from 1946 noted that while popular, the ingredients might be hard to come by under rationing [5] and a letter to the editor in 1960 suggested that in times of economic properity it could be eaten weekly. [6] There is a variant using orange in place of lemon. [7]
