Wicklewood's Gluten Free Lemon Surprise

"I have tried many recipes for different variations of lemon surprise puddings, and delicious as they are, none of them transferred well to being gluten free. The egg whites are what helps in this recipe, however, it is the ban Marie that is key to its success."

  1. I remember my mother using the bain-marie technique when cooking puddings & custards of various kinds, & I've done it several times myself! But it was the "lemon surprise" that attracted my attention to this recipe & I thoroughly enjoyed making it! Loved the resulting pudding, too, for sure! Thanks much for sharing your recipe!

However, nessesity really is the mother of invention; instead of feeling sorry for myself and my dietry limitations,,,I got creative. I am in the process of starting my own business, which initially was exclusively targeted at ceoliacs, but thanks to my new husband and his diabetes, we hope to create food that is not only gluten free and sugar free or low carb, but will also cater for those amongst us with a whatever attitude to healthy food...Yes I do have one left at home,,bring on the empty nest.</p> <p><span><span><strong>The other man in my life</strong></span></span></p> <p><img title=The src=http://img577.imageshack.us/img577/5314/file4226.jpg alt=width=320 height=213 /></p>
