Source: Taste of Home
Amazingly delicious
Ingredients
- 2 Tbls. butter, softened
- 1-1/2 c. white sugar
- 1/3 c. unbleached all-purpose white flour
- 1/4 t. salt
- 1/2 c. fresh lime (or lemon) juice
- 1 t. grated lime (or lemon) zest
- 3 eggs, separated
- 1-1/4 c. milk
Instructions
In a small bowl, beat butter and sugar until crumbly. Add the flour, salt, lime juice and peel; mix well. Beat in egg yolks and milk until smooth.
In another bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form; gently fold into batter.
Pour into (6) ungreased 6 oz., or (8) 4 oz. custard/ramekin cups. Place ramekins in a large baking pan; add 1 inch of boiling water to pan.
Bake uncovered at 325 degrees for 40-45 minutes or until knife inserted near the center comes out clean and top is golden.
Serve warm or at room temperature. If you eat it warm right out of the oven, let stand for 10 minutes (pudding is very hot).
NOTE: You can also substitute lemon juice and lemon zest instead of using Lime. Orange juice and zest would work as well.
