Ingredients

• 3 large Fresh oranges
• 50 grams All-purpose flour
• 20 grams Cornstarch
• 100 grams White granulated sugar
• 4 Egg yolks
• 300 milliliters Milk
• 50 grams Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Orange zest
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 10 grams Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a baking dish or individual ramekins with a bit of butter and set aside.

Step 2

Juice 2 of the oranges and strain the juice to remove any pulp or seeds. You should have about 200 milliliters of orange juice. Set aside.

Step 3

Segment the third orange into small pieces for garnish, removing any pith or seeds. Set aside.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, and sugar to combine.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks lightly, then add the milk, orange juice, orange zest, and vanilla extract. Mix well.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, whisking continuously to avoid any lumps. Stir until smooth and completely combined.

Step 7

Pour the mixture into a saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly. Cook until the mixture thickens to a pudding-like consistency, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the butter until fully melted and incorporated.

Step 8

Pour the pudding mixture into the prepared baking dish or ramekins. Place them in a water bath by setting the dish or ramekins into a larger pan filled with hot water, ensuring the water reaches halfway up the sides of the dish.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the top is lightly golden and the pudding is set but still slightly wobbly in the center.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and water bath, and let cool slightly before serving. Dust with powdered sugar if using, and garnish with the orange segments for a fresh and vibrant finish. Serve warm.
