Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 320°F (160°C). Prepare a water bath by placing a large baking dish or roasting pan half-filled with water. This will ensure your pudding cooks evenly and retains moisture.
Lightly grease your 1.5-liter baking dish with butter or non-stick spray. Set it aside.
Separate the egg yolks from the egg whites. Place the yolks in one mixing bowl and the whites in another. Be careful not to get any yolk into the whites, as this will affect the ability to whip them into stiff peaks.
Add the sugar to the bowl with the egg yolks. Use a whisk or an electric mixer to beat the mixture until it becomes pale and thick.
Stir in the lemon zest and lemon juice into the yolk mixture. Mix until well combined.
Gradually add the self-raising flour to the lemon mixture, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Slowly add the milk while whisking until the mixture is smooth.
Using a clean whisk or electric mixer, beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. This means the whites will stand up firmly when the whisk is lifted.
Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the lemon mixture. Use a spatula to incorporate the whites without deflating them, maintaining as much air as possible for a light texture.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Carefully place the dish into the water bath to prevent water from splashing into the batter. The water should come about halfway up the sides of the dish.
Place the water bath with the pudding into the oven. Bake for about 40-45 minutes or until the top is golden and set. The pudding should have a light, soufflé-like top with a custard layer underneath.
Remove the pudding from the water bath and let it cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally garnished with additional lemon zest or a dollop of cream.
Tips:
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting to create a smoother batter.
- Separate the eggs carefully to ensure no yolk contaminates the whites for optimal whipping.
- Use freshly squeezed lemon juice and zest for the best flavor.
- Gently fold the whisked egg whites into the batter to retain as much air as possible for a light, fluffy texture.
- Bake in a water bath to create a consistent temperature and prevent the custard layer from overcooking.
- Let the dessert cool slightly before serving to allow the custard to set properly.
- Dust with powdered sugar or garnish with extra lemon zest for an elegant finish.
Congratulations, you've successfully created a delectable Lemon Delicious! The combination of airy, spongy cake with a rich, lemony custard is a match made in dessert heaven. Serve it warm, perhaps with a dollop of cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and watch as it quickly becomes a favorite treat in your household. Enjoy!
