Suggestions wanted for a Pale Ale recipe

[Wobbler]

My girlfriend wants me to make a pale ale with her. The last all grain pale ale I made was about 10 years ago, and I remember being quite disappointed with it. As the grist only comprised of maris otter pale malt, maybe the taste buds and brain was expecting a lager type experience, but it certainly failed to deliver. It could be that I needed more late hops to add more aroma. Can't find the recipe that I used.

So has anyone got a pale ale recipe that doesn't disappoint? Something with a fresh and flowery note or two, and nothing below around 1042.

The only hops I've got in store at the moment are EK Goldings, Fuggles, Challenger, Target, and Northdown.

TIA

Try a Styrian Stunner if you don't mind getting some more hops

4.5kg pale malt

90 min mash
2 hr boil

21 IBUs from the hops, quantities will vary depending on their AA%

On the suggestion of Steve D I threw in a mass of hops when I turned out the boiler to give a lovely floral grapefruit smell

Thanks J_P, I've got my eye on that one for next time. I've got Marc's book, so will follow that, with the addition of a good handful of late hops.
