Mini Lemon Delicious Puddings are a delightful treat that combine the refreshing tartness of lemon with a soft, pudding-like texture. These individual-sized desserts are perfect for sharing with friends and family or for savoring a sweet, tangy indulgence on your own. Easy to make with common ingredients, these puddings are sure to impress with their light and zesty flavor.
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease six mini pudding molds or a muffin tin.
- Zest the lemon and set aside the zest. Juice the lemon to get approximately 1/3 cup (63g) of lemon juice. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the 1/4 cup butter (54g) and 1/2 cup sugar (100g) using an electric mixer or by hand until the mixture is pale and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg until fully incorporated.
- Slowly sift in the 1/3 cup self-raising flour (50g) and mix until just combined.
- Gradually add the 2 cups milk (480g), lemon zest, and 1/3 cup lemon juice (63g) to the batter, stirring continuously to create a smooth mixture. The batter will be quite runny, which is expected.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared molds or muffin tin.
- Place the molds or muffin tin in a larger baking dish. Fill the larger dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the molds or tin. This water bath will help cook the puddings evenly.
- Carefully transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the tops of the puddings are golden brown and set but still a little wobbly. The puddings will have a cake-like top with a lemony sauce underneath.
- Remove the puddings from the oven and let them cool slightly in the water bath. Once slightly cooled, carefully remove the molds or muffin tin from the water bath.
- Serve the mini lemon delicious puddings warm, as is, or with a dusting of powdered sugar and a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.
