Ingredients
For the budincitos de limon, you will need the following ingredients:
1 cup of sugar
1/2 cup of all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon of salt
2 cups of milk
4 eggs, separated
1 tablespoon of lemon zest
1/4 cup of lemon juice
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
For the toppings, you can use whipped cream, fresh berries, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
Step 2: Prepare the ramekins
Butter six ramekins or custard cups with a capacity of 6 ounces each. Set them in a baking dish.
Step 3: Mix the dry ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup of sugar, flour, and salt.
Step 4: Add the milk
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg yolks, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Add this mixture to the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth.
Step 5: Beat the egg whites
Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar and continue to beat until stiff peaks form.
Step 6: Combine the mixtures
Gently fold the egg whites into the lemon mixture until just combined.
Step 7: Pour the mixture
Pour the mixture into the prepared ramekins, filling them about 3/4 of the way.
Step 8: Bake
Pour hot water into the baking dish until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 9: Cool
Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool to room temperature. Once cooled, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
Step 10: Serve
When ready to serve, remove the plastic wrap and top with whipped cream, fresh berries, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
