  • About

This eighteenth-century recipe was supposed to be a favourite of Charlotte of Mecklenburg, wife of George III. It’s an excellent pudding to have in your repertoire because you can get oranges all year round and therefore serve it at any time of the year.

Ingredients

  • 250 g (9 oz) shortcrust pastry
  • 4 oranges
  • 1

Method

Pre-heat your oven to 150°C/300°F/gas mark 2. Roll out the pastry and line a 24 cm (10 inch) tart tin with it. Grate the peel and squeeze the juice from the oranges and lemon into a bowl. Beat the egg yolks well. Stir them into juice and peel together with 175 g (6 oz) of the sugar. Be
