Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 pint raspberries
4 large egg whites
3 large egg yolks
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons raspberry extract
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 cup milk
confectioners' sugar (for dusting)

Steps:

  • Fill roasting pan with 1/2 inch of hot tap water; place in center of oven.
  • Heat oven to 350°F.
  • You'll need eight 6 ounce custard cups; place 4or 5 raspberries on the bottom of each.
  • Beat egg whites in a medium bowl with mixer on medium speed until foamy.
  • Beat in 2 tablespoons of the sugar until stiff, shiny peaks form when beaters are lifted.
  • With same beaters (no need to wash), beat yolks and remaining sugar in a large bowl until mixture is light.
  • Beat in flour, extract, lemon zest and juice.
  • Gradually beat in milk.
  • Using a wire whisk, gently fold egg whites into yolk mixture just until combined.
  • Divide batter among prepared cups (cups should be filled to the top).
  • Place cups in hot water in roasting pan.
  • Bake until puddings are puffed and golden brown on top -- about 24 minutes.
  • Serve puddings warm or at room temperature, with confectioners' sugar and remaining raspberries.
