Ingredients
Warm lemon pudding cakes
- 4 Tbs. unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup sugar, divided
- 1 tsp. lemon zest
- 3 large eggs, separated
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup lemon juice
- 1 1/4 cups nonfat milk
Blueberry compote
- 2 cups frozen blueberries
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 Tbs. lemon juice
- 1 tsp. lemon zest
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350F. Coat 8 6-oz. ramekins or custard cups with cooking spray, and set in large roasting pan.
To make Pudding Cakes: Put butter, 1/4 cup sugar and lemon zest in large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on high until light and fluffy. Add egg yolks 1 at a time, and beat until incorporated. Beat in flour and lemon juice. Add milk, and beat until combined; mixture will look lumpy.
Beat egg whites in separate bowl until foamy. Slowly add 1/2 cup sugar, beating until whites form stiff, glossy peaks. Fold into lemon mixture.
Spoon batter into ramekins. Set pan on middle rack of oven. Pour enough hot water into roasting pan to reach halfway up ramekins. Bake 25 to 30 minutes, until tops are puffed and cracked. Remove ramekins from water with tongs; set on wire rack to cool.
To make Blueberry Compote: Simmer all ingredients in small saucepan over medium heat until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Serve with cakes.
