Lemon Pudding Recipes From Scratch

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°. In a bowl, beat egg yolk. Add sugar, milk, flour, lemon juice, zest and salt; beat until smooth. Beat egg white until stiff peaks form; gently fold into lemon mixture. Pour into 2 ungreased 6-oz. custard cups (cups will be very full). , Place the cups in an 8-in. square baking pan. Pour boiling water into pan to a depth of 1 in. Bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean and top is golden, 40-45 minutes. If desired, top with confectioners' sugar, lemon slices and whipped cream.

Steps:

• Place a fine-mesh sieve over a medium heatproof bowl and set aside. In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest, and salt. In a medium bowl, whisk together milk, cream, and egg yolks; add to saucepan.
• Whisking constantly, cook over medium-high until mixture thickens and is bubbling, 8 to 12 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, whisking, 1 minute.
• Remove pan from heat and pour mixture through sieve into bowl. Stir in butter and vanilla until combined.
• Press plastic wrap directly against surface of pudding to prevent skin from forming and refrigerate 3 hours (or up to 3 days). Whisk lemon juice into chilled pudding. To serve, whisk until smooth and divide among four small bowls.

Steps:

• Beat together egg yolks, lemon juice, lemon rind, and butter or margarine until thick and lemon colored. Combine sugar, flour, and salt; add alternately with milk to the yolk mixture, beating well after each addition.
• Beat egg whites until stiff. Blend egg whites into batter on low speed of electric mixer. Pour into 8 inch square baking dish.
• Place a pan of hot water in the oven, and set the baking dish into the pan. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 45 minutes.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan (off heat), whisk yolks, 1 cup sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest, salt, and 1/2 cup of the milk until completely smooth; gradually whisk in remaining 3 cups milk.
• Place saucepan over medium heat; bring to a gentle simmer, whisking occasionally (mixture will thicken when it reaches a simmer). Remove from heat; whisk in lemon juice.
• Pour mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl. Divide evenly among serving dishes; refrigerate, uncovered, until chilled, about 1 1/2 hours. (To store overnight, cover dishes tightly with plastic once pudding has chilled.)
• To serve, whip cream with remaining 2 tablespoons sugar until soft peaks form. Spoon over puddings; garnish with extra lemon zest, if desired.

Steps:

• Combine sugar, cornstarch, and salt in top of a double boiler over simmering water; stir well to prevent clumps. Gradually stir in 5 cups water. Cook, stirring frequently, until mixture is thickened to gravy consistency, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Beat eggs in a bowl until light and foamy. Pour in 1 cup of sugar mixture gradually, whisking vigorously to avoid curdling eggs. Whisk egg mixture into remaining sugar mixture gradually; return to double boiler. Cook, whisking constantly, until thickened to pudding consistency, 6 to 8 minutes. Whisk lemon juice and butter into pudding gradually. Cool in the refrigerator, 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Steps:

• On med-hi heat, bring sugar and water to a boil.
• Mix cornstarch, lemon juice and lemon extract.
• Stir into boiling mixture.
• Beat the egg yolks and stir about 1/4 cup of the hot mixture into them.
• Quickly stir this into the hot mix.
• Spoon into dessert cups.
• Chill.
• If you prefer you can put the mix into a baked pie shell, and cover with meringue.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly butter a 2 quart shallow dish such an 9 inch square baking pan and set aside. Beat the butter until soft then gradually add the sugar, beating until well blended. Beat in the yolks one at a time, then add the milk, salt, flour, lemon zest and juice and beat to mix thoroughly. (Don't worry if the mixture looks curdled). Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they form soft peaks. Then lighten the lemon egg mixture with 1/4 of the beaten egg whites, then fold the remaining egg whites into this lightened batter. Turn this mixture into the prepared baking pan and set it in a larger baking pan. Pour in enough boiling water to come half way up the sides of the baking dish with the pudding and bake for 50 minutes to an hour. The custard will separate into a soft custardlike mixture on the bottom and a cakier spongy like texture on the top. (If the top begins to brown after 35 minutes of baking loosely cover the top with buttered foil.) Serve warm or chilled with or without whipped cream.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Finely grate 1 Tbsp zest from lemons, then squeeze 1/4 cup+ 2 Tbsp juice.
• Whisk together flour, salt, and 1/2 cup + 2 Tbsp sugar in a large bowl.
• Whisk together yolks, milk, zest and juice in a small bowl and add to flour mixture, whisking just until combined.
• Beat egg whites in another bowl with an electric mixer until they hold soft peaks.
• Beat in remaining 1/4 cup sugar, a little at a time, and continue to beat until whites hold stiff, glossy peaks.
• Whisk about 1/4 of whites into batter to lighten, then fold in remaining whites gently but thoroughly (batter will be thin).
• Pour into buttered 1 1/2 qt ceramic gratin or other shallow baking dish and bake in a hot water bath until puffed and golden, 45-50 minutes.
• Transfer to a rack.
• Serve warm or at room temperature.
