Has to be completed in 60 minutes.

I am the unpuddingest person in the world so I don't have a clue!

an apple crumble? or does it have to be something more special than that?

I remember doing pineapple upside down cake at school

MerlinsBeard · 15/09/2007 15:39

LEMON DRIZZLE CAKE!!!!!!

in an hour it will be prepared,cooked, cooled and drizzled as well as giving him time to do what biys do (ie mess about!)

WendyWeber · 15/09/2007 15:50

Oh, the legendary LDC! That would be good - does it count as a paudding though?

Pollyanna, he often makes apple crumble at home so that would be nice and easy, but would need tweaking to make it special. (They're all going to taste each others' and the teacher's going to enter the most popular ones into a comp)

MerlinsBeard · 15/09/2007 16:29

of course it counts as a pudding(the clue is cake in Iits name)

well

unless you live here and its a meal in its own right lol!!
If cake is too formal you could do LDC muffins...just divide the mixture between muffin \cases. off teh top of my head i don't know how many the recipe makes but they are nice too

popsycal · 15/09/2007 16:52

to continue with the lemon theme:
nigella's cold lemon rice pudding is GORGEOUS
and there is a jamie oliver lemon spongey pudding with a soggy bottom - it is more appetising than it sounds.

Give me a shout if you would like either recipe

Bewilderbeast · 15/09/2007 17:18

bread and butter pudding. I do a really idiot proof one and you can change it about by putting lemon curd on the bread, booze in the fruit (if an adult) adding apple etc etc etc. No pre-making custard it all cooks in the oven

WendyWeber · 15/09/2007 17:27

Oh goody, more suggestions - all recipes gratefully received! (Lemon puds in general very popular here, )

Queen of puddings is yummy - he'd have to make breadcrumbs and meringue

MaryAnnSingleton · 15/09/2007 17:28

ice pudding with cardamom

MaryAnnSingleton · 15/09/2007 17:29

doh ! rice pudding I meant

Tamum · 15/09/2007 17:30

You could just do creme brulee in that time with a lot of waiting round in the middle. Very easy and effective. Lemon surprise pudding would be good, that may be the same as popsycal's recommendation.

popsycal · 15/09/2007 18:31

tamum - i think lmon pudding with the soggy bottom is the same as yours

Do you want recipes, WEndy?

popsycal · 15/09/2007 18:34

oooh one of dh;s mates once made a creme brulee with rhubarb in the bottom - was lush

WendyWeber · 15/09/2007 18:46

Is the soggy bottom the surprise?

Yes please popsy, recipes for both of yours/tamum's if it's not too much typing? And bewilderbeast's idiot-proof bread-and-butter pudding (with lemon hint) and MAS's ice/rice pudding with cardamom too please.

Thanks, all

Creme brulee and queen of puddings easy to find on t'interweb, presumably? (DS2 not keen on rhubarb so that surprise would be out!)

(DS1 made chilli last night and decided to add something unusual as an experiment - I could smell cinnamon as I came through the door - of course dinner eaters shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth but that was weird)

OP posts:
popsycal · 15/09/2007 18:52

ooooh i love chiili/spag bol ect with cinamon!!!

the soggy bottom is just my phrase.....it is basically custardy,,,,

I will type them up after i get ds1 to bed after x factpr...having a bit of ds1/mum chilling time

Tamum · 15/09/2007 18:52

Mine just sounds more appetising popsy

Will get the creme brulee recipe to you WW; I think the lemon surprise is in Delia but will look.

WendyWeber · 15/09/2007 18:55

Well he did say he didn't mean to put so much in, and in fact DD1 subsequently said she's had it with cinnamon too, but the smell was all wrong (although it didn't taste that strong).

Thanks, popsy - doesn't have to be today though, if you're having a wonderful chill - the lesson isn't until Thu or Fri (though I suppose he should practise it first)

OP posts:
WendyWeber · 15/09/2007 18:56

Tamum · 15/09/2007 18:57

Here's a lemon surprise pudding recipe that looks like the one I know of:

www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/database/lemonsurprisepudding_82708.shtml

StarryStarryNight · 15/09/2007 18:59

Baked apples?

Use Golden Delicious. Take the core out. Place apples in a oven proof dish. Fill the core with alternate sugar and cinnamon till the core is full. Sprinkle with roughly cut almonds. Bake for 40 minutes till they are all puffed out. Put apple on serving dish, spoon the "sauce" from the oven proof dish over the apples, and the by now caramelized almonds, serve with either cream, whipped cream, or ice cream.

WendyWeber · 15/09/2007 19:00

I look the look of that one (esp "Do not panic if the mixture curdles" DS2's current favourite pudding thing is a lemon cheesecake and the creamy-eggy-lemony bit always curdles) but I think it's too long - it says 30-60 mins for both prep and cooking, and DS2 is thorough but not quick...?

OP posts:
WendyWeber · 15/09/2007 19:02

That sounds good too, SSN, thank you!

I will copy all these out and let him muse

Lemon rice pudding
(may take longer than the hour but wil post anyway as it is lovely if not for now then for another time!!)
Can be served alone, or with raspberries or any other berries. Could alsp be served in a fancy glass - berries in the bottom; rice pud on the top.

Ingredients
100g pudding rice
zest of 2 lemons and juice of 1
1 lite full fat milk
2 tablesppons caster sugar
250ml double cream
few drops of lemon oil (though I have never used this)

method
PUt pudding rice, lemon zest and milk in wide bottomed saucepan and bring to boil over medium heat. As soon as milk starts to bubble, turn heat right down (if you have a heat diffuser, put it underneath the pan - I don't have one). To stop skin forming on rice pudding cover milk directly with greaseproof paper.

Nigella now goes into massive lecture of how to cover with paper:
'Cut out a large square - slightly bigger than circumference of pan - and fold in the four corners to the middle of the square. SIt this on top of the milk and rice in the pan and then fold the corners back so they stick to the sides of the pan, above the milk.

Let the rice cook for about 40 mins until most of liquid is absorbed.

Take rice off the heat and beat in the sugar then leave to stand for abotu 5 minutes before beating in the lemon juice - if the rice is too hot, it will curdle.
Turn rice pudding into bowl and do the grease proof paper trick again so it is covered. Leave to cool then chill in the fridge. When it is really cold, remove from fridge and take off paper and then whip the cream until 'thick but not clumping' and fold into the rice pudding.

Yum
