The Road to Riches

So in my previous post I talked about how I was going to make the Luscious Lemon Pudding, well it’s in the oven.

Here’s the recipe:

Ingredients

1 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 unit eggs, separated
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon finely grated lemon rind
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 cups 2% milk

Directions

Preheat oven to 350F (180C). Butter 8-inch (2 L) square glass baking dish. In bowl, sift together sugar and flour; set aside.
Place egg whites in bowl of stand mixer fitted with whisk attachment. Beat on high speed for 4 to 5 minutes or until stiff peaks form. Transfer whites to another bowl.
Add egg yolks to same bowl and return to stand mixer. Using whisk attachment beat on medium-high speed until yolks are thick and lightened in colour. Reduce speed to medium and add butter, lemon rind and juice; beat for 1 more minute. With machine running on medium speed, alternately beat in flour mixture and milk, making 5 additions of flour and 4 of milk.
Remove bowl from mixer. Fold in egg whites. Transfer to prepared baking dish. Place dish in large shallow roasting pan. Add hot water to half way up side of baking dish.
Bake in centre of oven for 50 to 55 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes. Top two-thirds will be cake consistency and bottom third will be pudding consistency.

So I got to step 5, folding in the egg white and I didn’t want to mess it up because I’ve heard they were finicky…so I called my mom over and she was like:
