Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs, separated
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
- Fresh berries, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until pale and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes).
- Add the egg yolks to the butter-sugar mixture and beat until smooth.
- Gradually mix in the milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add this to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- In another clean bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter.
- Grease a baking dish (9-inch round or square) and pour the batter in, spreading it evenly.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the pudding cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
- Dust with powdered sugar and serve with fresh berries, if desired.
Notes
- Ensure that the egg whites are beaten in a clean, dry bowl to achieve stiff peaks.
- For a more indulgent dessert, consider adding whipped cream or vanilla ice cream on top.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
