About

A pudding fit for a King! This delicate, zesty dessert is inspired by King Charles III’s favourite pudding. Originally created by chef Enrico Derflingher on the Shetland Islands with a limited choice of ingredients at his disposal, the then Prince Charles liked it so much that he requested that it be served at all formal dinners at Kensington Palace.

Step 1

Combine the unsalted butter, caster sugar and plain flour in a bowl and bring together into a dough using the egg white. Set aside the dough and chill in the fridge.

Step 2

Mix the double cream, sugar and lemon peel, and gradually heat in a saucepan until it nearly reaches boiling point, then remove from the heat to cool.

Step 3

When the mixture is cool add the lemon juice, then heat the mixture again and before it reaches boiling point pass through a sieve.

Step 4

Pour into glass ramekins and leave to set in the fridge.

Step 5

Roll out the dough and cut out round shapes, lay on a sheet of baking paper and bake at 180 C for 5 minutes.

Step 6

Once cooled, add a biscuit to each of the lemon pots.
