Lemon delicious puddings

Lemon delicious puddings are a delightful dessert that perfectly combines a soft, fluffy sponge with a tangy, custardy lemon sauce. This classic dessert is simple to prepare and is sure to impress your family and guests with its bright, citrusy flavors and comforting texture. Here’s how you can create these delightful treats using just a few basic ingredients.

Instructions:

1. Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and make sure your rack is positioned in the middle.
2. Prepare the Ramekins: Grease 6 individual ramekins or pudding dishes lightly with butter. Place the greased ramekins in a large baking dish.
3. Mix the Butter and Zest: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and lemon zest until the mixture is light and fluffy.
4. Add Lemon Juice and Flour: Gradually add in the lemon juice, mixing continuously. Then, sift in the self-raising flour and mix until just combined.
5. Prepare the Egg Whites: In a separate clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form.
6. Combine Egg Yolks and Milk: In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks well, then add the milk and mix until smoothly combined. Gradually blend this mixture into the butter, lemon, and flour mixture until well incorporated.
7. Fold in the Egg Whites: Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the lemon mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the batter too much; it should be light and fluffy.
8. Fill the Ramekins: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared ramekins. The batter should reach near the top of each ramekin.
9. Prepare for Baking: Pour hot water into the larger baking dish until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins, creating a water bath.
10. Bake: Carefully transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the puddings have set. They should have a slight wobble in the center once done.
11. Cool and Serve: Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let the puddings cool slightly before serving. You can serve them warm or chilled, as desired.
12. Optional Garnish: For an extra touch, dust with powdered sugar or garnish with a slice of lemon and a sprig of mint.

Tips:

- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) before starting to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking.

- Ensure your butter is softened to room temperature for easier mixing.

- Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best flavor.

- Separate the eggs while they are cold as it is easier and then allow them to come to room temperature before using.

- Fold the beaten egg whites gently into the batter to maintain the light and airy texture.

- Place the pudding dishes in a bain-marie (a larger baking dish filled with hot water) to help the puddings cook evenly and prevent the edges from overcooking.

- Check the puddings with a skewer; they should be lightly browned on top but still have a slight wobble in the center.

There you have it – a luscious, lemony dessert that’s sure to become a favorite. These Lemon delicious puddings are perfect for any occasion, from casual family dinners to special celebrations. Enjoy the delightful blend of a soft sponge and a zesty lemon sauce that will leave everyone asking for seconds.
