I made this yesterday to take to a neighbour who had invited me for dinner.  It was served up with the beautiful strawberries, blueberries and yoghurt neighbour had already prepared.  Match made in heaven!!  This was the first time I'd tried this and was quite surprised at just how quick and simple it was to make - and the taste . . !!!! :D :D  Thanks a million, Chookie!! :-* :-* :-*

I made this a few nights ago and loved it. I don't think I had enough flour because my mixture was very wet and was a bit fiddly to get in the pie dish, it didn't seem to take away from the finished dish but just a little more fiddly. Will definitely be making again.

That happened with me, too, Wonder.  To get the crumbly effect I just kept sprinkling with flour and working gently with my fingers until it resembled what I saw in the photos that were posted on this thread.  Like you, I think I just didn't use enough flour to begin with.  A wonderful little cake.. And I'm making it again tonight!! A firm family favourite - my only regret is that I left it this long to make it in the first place!!!

I was a little short on SR flour and thought there would be enough so I'll know for next time. I don't eat many desserts but really enjoyed this and it was just as nice warmed the next night so will definitely be on my make again list.

Wonder,  glad you liked it. You could add a little plain flour if not enough SR.

That's great, Uni. I've been meaning to try out adding more ingredients to get a taller base. Will try the extra 1/4 cup of SR flour.

I  have had another look at this recipe and think some of the difference is in the size of the egg.  You are right to add a little more flour.

I made this today for Mum and Dad and added a little more flour and it worked perfectly. Loved it again.

Good Wonder, plenty of lemons about. Hope they liked it.  It is a really old fashioned pud.

Very strangely Chookie Dad who has a real sweet tooth and will eat lemon curd by the bucket full felt it was a bit sickly?? Mum and I both loved it and DS was very upset when I took it out of the oven and straight to Mums! I wanted to make another last night but rang out of time and we only had a single lemon left and I don't want to buy any, need to get DS to go next door and climb the neighbours tree and get a supply.
