Ingredients
Units
For the Oven (large)
- 40g very soft butter
- 60g flour
- 2 limes (for 60ml juice and the zest)
- 1 lemon (for 60ml juice and the zest)
- 1 cup sugar /200g
- 4 eggs, separated
- 2 cups/500ml milk
- 2–4 cardamom pods, seeds removed and ground, or 1/4 tsp ground cardamom
- 2 tsp rose water (optional)
For the Air Fryer (small)
- 20g very soft butter
- 30g flour
- 1 lime (for 30ml juice and the zest)
- 1 lemon (for 90ml juice and the zest)
- 1/2 cup/100g sugar
- 2 eggs, separated
- 1 cups/250ml milk
- 1–2 cardamom pods, seeds removed and ground, or a pinch ground cardamom
- 1 tsp. rose water optional
For Serving
- Single cream / pouring cream for serving or vanilla ice cream or custard
Instructions
- Separate your eggs.
- Add the egg whites to a clean meta/glass bowl. Beat until the whites form soft peaks.
- Stir the flour into the very soft butter using a rubber spatula, until it forms a paste.
- Zest the citrus and set aside, then juice the citrus until you have 120ml fresh citrus juice (lemon and lime)
- Using your fingers, rub the citrus zest and the cardamom into the sugar to release the oils from the zest. This will add more depth and ensure a uniform citrus flavour.
- Slowly add the citrus juice and rosewater into the butter and flour paste, mixing well so it doesn’t form lumps, then add in the zesty sugar.
- Beat the egg yolks until thick and pale then whisk in the milk. Fold to combine, then stir the egg mixture into the butter, flour, and citrus mixture.
- Fold the whites through the batter, then pour the batter into a greased baking dish.
- Bake at 165C for 25-30 mins.
- Your pudding can be served immediately – hot, gooey and drizzled with cream – or allow the pudding to cool and serve it at room temperature.
Notes
This Citrus pudding is sublime served with cream, but for those with an incurable sweet tooth, you can serve with vanilla ice cream of custard.
