One of my favourite recipes to come out of Annie's recipe tin is this delicious Lemon Pudding. It takes me back to Sunday roasts (which Annie was the best at!), followed up with something delicious....usually pudding. And these puddings are sooo easy to make! Plus you can prepare them beforehand and serve them cold, when that amazing lemon sauce has thickened and become so so good. My boys actually prefer to eat them cold, but always topped with Chantilly Cream
I was never much of a fan of lemon desserts. Funnily enough, I used to make lemon curd a lot when I was a kid. I'm not sure why...I think my Dad liked it, so I'd make it for our toast. But while the rest of my family seemed to like lemon meringue, lemon pudding and lemon slice, I always turned my nose up at it (what was I thinking?). Now I'm an absolute sucker for it!
Which is why I'm so glad I came across Annie's Lemon Delicious Pudding recipe. I'd never made it before, but just knew it was going to be good!
Like so many of Annie's recipes in her tin, her Lemon Delicious Puddings were little light on for directions. All beautifully handwritten, I had to decipher her handwriting and abbreviations, fill in some gaps and hope for the best. And it was worth it!
WHAT MAKES THIS LEMON PUDDING SO DELICIOUS?
- It's made with whipped egg whites, making these puddings so light and fluffy
- The lemon juice and zest gives them a delicious, light zesty flavour
- The mixture magically separates into a sponge at the top, with a thick, tangy sauce at the bottom
MY Baking TIPS
- Whisk the egg whites on a medium speed, which will give you lovely, even bubbles -this helps the pudding rise evenly
- Gradually add the lemon juice and milk -it will keep the mixture smooth
- Baking the puddings in a water bath keeps them from drying out
