Lemon Citrus Pudding

Over the weekend, we ran out of snacks so I thought of making this pudding. It's very similar to a lemon bar except for the flaky crust which is loaded with butter. :)


Ingredients:

• 4 eggs, separated
• 1/3 cup lemon juice
• 1 tsp lemon zest
• 2 tbsp butter, softened
• 1 1/4 cups white sugar
• 3/4 cup sifted all purpose flour
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 cup milk

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Grease 8" baking dish. Set aside.
2. In a bowl, beat egg yolks, lemon juice, lemon zest and butter until it thickens. In another bowl, mix sugar, flour and salt.
3. Alternately, add milk and the dry ingredients into the yolk mixture. Beat well every after addition of ingredients.
4. In a bowl, beat egg whites until stiff. Fold this into the mixture carefully.
5. Pour batter into prepared baking dish. Place a bigger pan with water inside the oven and set the baking dish here. Bake for 45 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
