Ingredients

• 60 grams unsalted butter
• 150 grams granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs, separated
• 2 tablespoons lemon zest
• 80 milliliters freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 30 grams all-purpose flour
• 250 milliliters whole milk
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 tablespoon powdered sugar, for garnish

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a deep baking dish or four ramekins for individual servings.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and granulated sugar together with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.

Step 3

Add the egg yolks one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in the lemon zest and lemon juice until combined.

Step 4

Sift in the flour and mix until smooth. Gradually add the milk while continuing to mix until the batter is smooth and liquidy.

Step 5

In a separate clean bowl, whisk the egg whites and salt until stiff peaks form.

Step 6

Gently fold the egg whites into the lemon batter using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the mixture.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish or divide evenly among the ramekins. Place the dish or ramekins inside a larger roasting pan and fill the pan with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of your baking dish or ramekins to create a water bath.

Step 8

Carefully transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and set, but the pudding jiggles slightly when gently shaken.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes. The pudding will naturally separate into two layers: a fluffy sponge on top and a custardy lemon layer on the bottom.

Step 10

Dust with powdered sugar before serving warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
