With a Meyer's tree right outside my front door this is terrific timing. Can one add more lemon juice than a third cup? Perhaps reducing the buttermilk by a like amount to keep liquids in scale? Or simply adding some Devonshire double cream to add bulk? lucas hess

Lucas - that's an excellent idea! I would just reduce the buttermilk a bit. I'm so jealous about your trees. I have 2 dwarfs under lights until I put them out in the Summer and they have the most fragrant flowers on them now!

Wanted you to know I'd made this just the way you have it-it was delicious. I infused more lemon by soaking the strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and blueberries in 1/4 cup along with several dashes of lavendar water-I added some eatable pansies-darn, should have taken pictures now I know how to do that (and post them). Next time. Just thought you'd like to know I had to fend off several people who wanted the last bite. Lovely pudding cake and my hats off to you. lucas hess
