About 1/2 cup lemon curd (room temp.) - home made or bought (I made a batch of Tenina's)
125g softened unsalted butter - plus extra to grease ramekins
125g caster sugar
125g plain flour
2 tsp. baking powder
2 eggs
Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
Juice of 1 lemon
Preheat oven to 180c, and grease 6 x 1 cup capacity ramekins
Dollop a generous tablespoon of lemon curd to the base of ramekin (I added a little more :P) to cover base, set aside.
Place all ingredients into jug.....EXCEPT THE LEMON JUICE.
Mix for 10 seconds, speed 6.
Scrape jug, add the lemon juice, and mix 6 seconds, speed 6.
Add batter to ramekins, filling to around 3/4 full.
Place on a heavy tray and bake for 20 minutes, or until cooked through.
Use a palette knife to ease the sponge away from edges.
Carefully place ramekin upside down into bowl, and let sit for a minute. Unmould, and spoon on top any lemon curd stuck to the bottom.
Serve with a dollop of double cream, custard or ice cream.

Obbie - I made this today and we had to have them straight away, before lunch, while hot. Will make again for sure.
JD - GS helped make these today, that's how easy they are. Wouldn't eat one though so he is taking 3 home for the rest of the family tonight. I put another spoonful of fresh curd on top of the cooled puddings and zap them for 20 seconds before serving with a dollop of thickened cream. Nice little dessert, thanks maddy.
chrissa - I made these last night but mine didn't turn out like Maddy's. They just looked like little cakes. The curd completely disappeared into the cake even though I put about 2 tablespoons into the ramekin. I'd never made Tenina's lemon curd before but it seemed too runny. It was like a very runny custard - Is it supposed to be like that ? They tasted nice but I was disappointed with the look of it. I had to serve it with left over curd from the fridge.
maddy - Chrissa, shame the curd was runny. I think someone had that issue also but just cooked it for longer.
I use Tenina's curd also, but the updated version citrus curd from her blog, and it was lovely and thick. Also, definitely use more than 2 Tbsp. curd on the base of ramekin, add as much as you like. I will make again soon and try steaming them in varoma and report back.
chrissa - Thanks Maddy's, the updated curd recipe is double in size but there is a difference is the butter to sugar amounts and also the increase in temp. For the last minutes.

Thanks Maddy, love this idea of a simple little individual dessert which looks so impressive.

Beautiful Maddy. 😃

Making these tonight. I have a home made Lemon and Lime Curd, so will use both lemon and lime zest and juice!
Thanks for converting maddy. As I copied the recipe, I also copied your picture because it looks so gorgeous.

I'm wondering whether these could be steamed in the Varoma?

I was wondering the same thing today myself MJ but I wanted to use the TMX/varoma for meatballs & sauce so they had to be cooked in the oven. I can't see why not though.

Chrissa, thanks for bumping this they sound delicious, I might give them a go and steam them in the Varoma, also wondering if I should try them with some of Chookies Meyer Lemon Dust. Um GD is coming over and we are going to have a cooking afternoon.

I'll give the curd another go when my lemon tree decides to produce more fruit. It completely bare at the moment :(
Might have to go and raid a neighbours tree ;-)
