Method

- At least 10 hours before serving place the chopped orange and any juice into two, lightly buttered oven proof dishes.
- Add the Grand Marnier, cover and refrigerate.
- Beat the butter, sugar and lemon rind together until light and fluffy and almost white.
- Beat in the egg yolks, fold in the flour and gently mix in the milk and lemon juice.
- Whisk the egg whites until they will hold soft peaks, fold carefully into the mixture.
- Pour this mixture over the oranges in the oven proof dishes.
- Stand the dishes in a Bain Marie.
- Cook on the shelf below the centre for 20 – 25 minutes or until just firm to the touch and pale golden brown on top.
- Serve sifted with icing/confectioner's sugar and decorated with the rose petals.
