Easy Lemon Self Saucing Pudding

Been looking for the lemon delicious recipe i cooked many years ago but somewhere along lost the clipping (before zaar time) and this seems to come close to it though called a pudding (maybe searching in the wrong area) but it was good though sweeter than i remember (would need to work on the sugar content), certainly don't remember having the sprinkle sugar on top as per this recipe but i believe that what gives it its crispy top in this recipe. serving suggestion was 4 but i think could be easily stretched to 6 served with cream and or icecream. i found that 1 lemon gave me the rind and juiced that but needed to juice a second lemon to get the full 1/2 cup (got a little more than that and added the lot).
