How to Make Melt In Your Mouth Warm Lemon Pudding

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt.
Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth. Add the lemon zest and lemon juice; whisk until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and egg yolks. Gradually whisk in about 1 cup of the warm milk mixture to temper the eggs.
Pour the tempered egg mixture into the remaining milk mixture and whisk until well combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.
Place the baking dish in a larger roasting pan. Pour enough hot water into the roasting pan to come halfway up the sides of the baking dish (this creates a water bath for even cooking).
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the pudding is set and lightly browned on top.
Let the pudding cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh lemon zest and a sprig of mint (optional).
Enjoy warm!
