Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease 4 small ramekins or pudding molds.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until the mixture becomes pale and slightly thickened.
- Add the lemon zest and flour to the egg mixture and whisk until well combined.
- Gradually add the milk, continuing to whisk to ensure a smooth mixture.
- Add the lemon juice and a dash of salt, whisking until everything is thoroughly mixed and smooth.
- Divide the custard mixture evenly among the prepared ramekins.
- Place the filled ramekins in a large baking dish.
- Pour hot water into the baking dish until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins (this is a water bath, which helps the custards cook evenly and gently).
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are set and the custards are lightly golden.
- While the custards are baking, finely chop the almonds.
- In a small saucepan, gently heat the honey over low heat until it becomes more liquid.
- Stir in the chopped almonds until they are evenly coated with the honey. Keep warm.
- Once the custards are done, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.
- Carefully remove the ramekins from the water bath and place them on a cooling rack.
- Spoon a generous amount of the warm honey anglaise over each lemon custard pudding.
- Optionally, garnish with extra lemon zest or a sprig of mint for added color and flavor.
- Serve the puddings warm for the best flavor and texture. Enjoy your delicious Lemon Custard Puddings with Honey Anglaise!
Tips:
- Ensure that the eggs are at room temperature before you begin for a smoother custard texture.
- When zesting the lemon, avoid the white pith as it can add bitterness to your custard.
- Whisk constantly when heating the custard mixture to prevent it from curdling.
- Strain the custard mixture before baking to remove any lumps and ensure a smooth consistency.
- To prevent the custards from forming a skin while baking, cover them loosely with aluminum foil.
- For an extra touch, toast the almonds lightly in a pan before adding them to the custard for added depth of flavor.
- Allow the puddings to cool slightly before serving if you prefer a warmer dessert, or refrigerate them if you like your custard chilled.
Your Lemon Custard Puddings with Honey Anglaise are now ready to be enjoyed. The velvety custard with its citrusy kick, complemented by the rich sweetness of the honey anglaise and the crunch of almonds, creates a symphony of flavors and textures that will leave your taste buds dancing. Serve immediately for the best experience, or chill for a refreshing treat.
