Grandma Hummel’s Lemon Pudding
Monday, June 29th, 2009It’s not really a pudding. Foodies would have some fancier term for it, but I’m not a foodie. Regardless, I LOVE this. It’s a recipe from my childhood. Something I remember my Grandma Hummel making for us when we visited as kids. It’s so yummy. You should try it.
Grandma Hummel’s Lemon Pudding
4 Tbsp. Butter - softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
Juice of two lemons
4 eggs - separated You’ll need to beat the whites until they’re stiff, but that comes later.
zest from both lemons
4 Tbsp. flour
2 cups milk

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees. Cream butter and sugar together. Add well beaten egg yolks, flour, lemon juice and zest.



Once you have combined the first six ingredients, add the milk. It will look something like this:

Then beat the egg whites until they’re stiff. It takes longer than you think.

Fold egg whites into the mixture. Pour equal amounts into 12 little baking dishes.
Here’s a VERY IMPORTANT STEP!!! Pour water into the pan that holds the baking dishes before baking.
Bake at 325 degrees for 45 minutes. Until the tops are a bit golden. As they bake, a delicate “crust” will form on top.
