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 prosperity it could be eaten weekly.[6] There is a variant using orange in place of lemon.[7]
