This is a traditional and still favorite South African Pudding.
Buttermilk was always available on farms and was used in many different dishes and in many ways.
Try this the next time you need a dessert
This was taken from a very old recipe: Some of the measurements are somewhat unusual

Alternating the flour with the buttermilk, stir into the creamed butter/sugar mixture
Stir in the lemon zest and baking powder
Grease an ovenproof dish and pour the batter into it.
