- Ready In:
- 1hr 15mins
- Ingredients:
- 8
- Yields:
-
1 1-1/2 qt pudding
- Serves:
- 6
ingredients
- 3 large eggs, separated
- 1⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 7⁄8 cup sugar, divided
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1⁄4 cup lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest, lightly packed
- 1⁄4 cup flour
- 1 1⁄2 cups milk
directions
- Grease a round 1.5 qt or 1.6 liter casserole dish (I use the small round white Corning Ware). You'll also need a shallow pan for the water bath, to set the casserole dish in 1" hot water in the oven while baking.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Set water to boil in a tea kettle for the water bath.
- Grate the zest of 1 large lemon, being careful to get only the yellow rind and not the bitter white pith. Then juice the lemon. Set aside.
- Beat egg whites with salt until stiff, then gradually beat in 1/2 cup sugar. Set aside.
- Cream butter with 3/8 cup sugar. Add eggs, lemon juice and zest, and beat well. Sift the flour over and whisk smooth. Gradually whisk in the milk. Fold in egg whites 'til well-combined.
- Pour into greased casserole dish; set dish in shallow pan containing boiling water 1" deep. Bake in 325 degree oven for 50-60 minutes (go for 60 minutes if you can!), checking often in that last ten minutes to avoid burning top of cake.
- Serve warm.

wow this lemon puff pudding is so good. Great taste of lemon. In the first batter, I used 1/2 cup of splenda. And with the egg whites, I used the 1/2 cup of sugar. That way I was able to cut the calories from all the sugar. This is a light dessert, so yummy. Thanks laurenpie :) Made for PAC Spring 2013
