Lemon delicious

Lemon Delicious is a classic dessert known for its luscious, tangy lemon flavor and creamy texture. It's the perfect treat to end a meal, offering a delightful balance of sweet and tart. This recipe is easy to follow and makes use of simple, everyday ingredients to create a dessert that will wow your taste buds.

Ingredients:

1/4 cup butter
54g
3/4 cup sugar
150g
4 eggs
200g
1/3 cup self-raising flour
50g
1.25 cups milk (1% fat)
300g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare Baking Dish:
- Lightly grease a baking dish or individual ramekins.
3. Creaming the Butter and Sugar:
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add Egg Yolks:
- Separate the eggs, placing the yolks in the butter-sugar mixture and reserving the whites in another clean bowl.
- Beat the yolks into the sugar and butter mixture until well combined.
5. Add Lemon:
- Incorporate the lemon zest and juice into the mixture, mixing until smooth.
6. Add Flour and Milk:
- Gradually sift in the self-raising flour, mixing gently.
- Slowly pour in the milk, while continuing to mix. The batter will be quite runny at this stage.
7. Whip Egg Whites:
- Using an electric mixer or a whisk, beat the reserved egg whites until they form soft peaks.
8. Fold Egg Whites:
- Carefully fold the whipped egg whites into the lemon mixture. This should be done gently to keep the batter light and airy.
9. Bake:
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish or divide it evenly among ramekins.
- Place the dish or ramekins in a larger baking pan. Create a bain-marie by pouring hot water into the larger pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of the dish or ramekins.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden and set, and a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean.
10. Cool and Serve:
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. The dessert will have a cake-like top with a creamy lemon sauce at the bottom.
- Serve warm, dusted with powdered sugar if desired.

Tips:

- Use room temperature ingredients.: Allow your butter, eggs, and milk to come to room temperature before starting. This ensures they blend together more evenly, resulting in a smoother batter.

- Separate the eggs carefully.: Make sure no yolk mixes with the egg whites when separating them. This helps the whites to whip up properly, giving the dessert a light, airy texture.

- Whisk egg whites to stiff peaks.: Whisk the egg whites until they form stiff peaks and gently fold them into the mixture. This will create a light, soufflé-like top layer while the base remains creamy.

- Bake in a water bath.: Place your baking dish in a larger pan filled with hot water. This helps the dessert cook evenly and prevents the top from cracking.

- Cool gradually.: Allow the Lemon Delicious to cool gradually after baking. A sudden change in temperature can cause the dessert to deflate or crack.

By following these steps and tips, you can create a Lemon Delicious that is sure to impress your family and friends. This dessert is a perfect combination of a fluffy, soufflé-like top and a rich, lemony custard base. Enjoy your homemade Lemon Delicious as a refreshing finish to any meal!
