Princess Pudding

Ingredients

• 2/3 cup Butter
• 1 cup Granulated Sugar
• 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
• 3 large Eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder (Originally Royal Baking Powder.)
• 1 small glass Brandy
• 1 cup Granulated Sugar (For Lemon Sauce)
• 1 cup Water (For Lemon Sauce)
• 1/2 teaspoon Lemon Extract (For Lemon Sauce)
• 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice (For Lemon Sauce)

Instructions

1. 1In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, beating for a few minutes between each addition. Gradually add the flour, which has been sifted with the baking powder, and the brandy. Mix until just combined.
2. 2Butter a pudding mold well. Pour the batter into the prepared mold. Place the mold in a saucepan with boiling water, ensuring the water reaches halfway up the sides of the mold. Steam for 1 1/2 hours.
3. 3While the pudding is steaming, make the lemon sauce. Boil the sugar and water together for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Add the lemon extract and lemon juice.
4. 4Carefully turn the pudding out onto a serving dish. Serve warm with the lemon sauce.
