Lemon Delicious Pudding in the Thermomix

Dessert is always popular in our house and in recent times I haven't had to make much as Isobel is quite the keen baker, however there are occasions when I will make a non ice cream dessert for everyone. Spencer wasn't really a fan of this one, he said it was too lemony.  This recipe was taken from the Fatmumslim website that you can find here. It was done in the Thermomix, though I did have to use the Kitchen Aid as well (or hand held beaters would be fine) as the egg whites needed to be done separately.

INGREDIENTS
 
150g white sugar
2 medium lemons, both juiced, one zested
20g butter
2 x 55g free-range eggs, separated
35g self-raising flour
200g full-cream milk
double or whipped cream, to serve



Heat oven to 175ºC and grease a 1-litre ovenproof pudding dish.

Weigh the sugar in the mixing bowl, and add 10g of lemon zest. Blend for 10 seconds on Speed 9.

Scrape down the bowl, add the butter and blend for 10 seconds on Speed 5.

Separate the eggs, placing the egg whites into a completely clean bowl so they can be whisked later. Add the yolks to the mixing bowl.

Add the flour, milk and squeeze 70g of lemon juice into the mixing bowl. Mix for 5 seconds on Speed 5.

Whisk the egg whites using a hand-held beater until they hold firm peaks (or Kitchen Aid) .

Insert the Butterfly, and add the egg whites to the Thermomix mixing bowl. Blend for 15 seconds on Speed 2. The mixture should have no visible streaks of egg whites. Use the spatula to break up any egg remaining egg whites.

Pour the mixture into the prepared dish. Standing the dish in a deep roasting tray, and pour hot water until it comes half way up the sides.

Bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the pudding is golden brown and has slight cracks in the crust. Allow to cool slightly, and then serve with double or whipped cream.

This is very much like a self saucing pudding, though you don't have to add any liquid on top of it before putting in the oven. So light and fluffy. I cooked it for 43 minutes, but I think 40 would have been enough.
