Ingredients

• 60 grams unsalted butter
• 150 grams caster sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 50 grams all-purpose flour
• 250 ml whole milk
• 80 ml fresh lemon juice
• 2 lemons lemon zest
• 1 pinch of salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 1.5-liter (6-cup) baking dish with butter and set it aside.

Step 2

Separate the egg yolks from the egg whites, placing them into two separate bowls.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and caster sugar together until light and fluffy.

Step 4

Beat in the egg yolks one at a time to the butter mixture, ensuring each yolk is fully incorporated before adding the next.

Step 5

Add the flour and salt to the mixture and mix until just combined.

Step 6

Gradually stir in the milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest, mixing until smooth. The batter will appear runny—this is normal.

Step 7

In a clean bowl, whisk the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Gently fold the egg whites into the lemon batter, taking care not to deflate the mixture.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, smoothing out the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Place the baking dish into a larger roasting pan. Carefully pour hot water into the roasting pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of the baking dish, creating a water bath.

Step 10

Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden and set. The pudding should have a soft sponge layer on top and a sauce layer beneath.

Step 11

Carefully remove the baking dish from the water bath and let it cool for 5–10 minutes before serving.

Step 12

Serve warm with a dusting of powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
