Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 60 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs, separated
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest
- 80 milliliters freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 30 grams all-purpose flour
- 250 milliliters whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar, for garnish
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a deep baking dish or four ramekins for individual servings.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and granulated sugar together with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
Add the egg yolks one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in the lemon zest and lemon juice until combined.
Sift in the flour and mix until smooth. Gradually add the milk while continuing to mix until the batter is smooth and liquidy.
In a separate clean bowl, whisk the egg whites and salt until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the egg whites into the lemon batter using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish or divide evenly among the ramekins. Place the dish or ramekins inside a larger roasting pan and fill the pan with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of your baking dish or ramekins to create a water bath.
Carefully transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and set, but the pudding jiggles slightly when gently shaken.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes. The pudding will naturally separate into two layers: a fluffy sponge on top and a custardy lemon layer on the bottom.
Dust with powdered sugar before serving warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
