Spoon into ramekins — level it flat, don't dome it. Top should be level with rim.
5
For sauce: mix 60g syrup, brown sugar, boiling water and lemon. Pour gently over back of spoon onto each pudding. Don't stir — it sinks.

Bake 30- until top is flat, clean, golden, and set but wobbles slightly. Sauce will be bubbling at edges inside ramekin.
