How to Make Lemon Pudding Souffles

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 large egg yolks until thickened and pale yellow.
  3. Gradually whisk in ½ cup granulated sugar until thick and lemon-colored.
  4. Whisk in 1 cup whole milk, 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
  5. Stir in ⅓ cup fresh lemon juice and the zest of 1 lemon.
  6. In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat 2 large egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  7. Gently fold one-fourth of the egg whites into the lemon mixture to lighten it.
  8. Gently fold in the remaining egg whites until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  9. Divide the batter evenly between two 6-ounce ungreased ramekins or custard cups.
  10. Place the ramekins in an 8-inch square baking pan.
  11. Carefully pour 1 inch of hot water into the baking pan (bain-marie).
  12. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the soufflés are puffed and golden brown.
  13. If desired, sprinkle with coarse sugar during the last 5 minutes of baking.
  14. Garnish with fresh pansies, mint sprigs, and extra lemon zest.
  15. Serve immediately and enjoy!
