Equipment
- Baking Dish
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs preferably at room temperature
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice about 2 lemons
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease your baking dish to ensure easy removal.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until the mixture turns slightly pale and becomes smooth.
- Add the melted butter, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the egg mixture. Whisk everything together until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Pour the mixture into your prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly to fill the base.
- Place the dish in the oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the top is just beginning to turn golden and the pudding has set around the edges but remains slightly jiggly in the center.
- Remove the pudding from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes until it reaches a warm, inviting temperature. It will develop a delicate surface and a silky interior.
Notes
Serve the baked lemon pudding warm or chilled. For an extra zest boost, top with a little grated lemon zest or a dusting of powdered sugar before serving.
