Hy-Vee Recipes and Ideas

Directions

1. Step1
   Pour water into a 1-1/2-pint microwave-safe dish. Water should not flow over top of custard cup when the cup is placed in the water.
2. Step2
   Cook water (without custard cup) in a microwave oven at 100% power for 1 minute (700-watt oven) or for 42 seconds (1000-watt oven).
3. Step3
   In a bowl, mix egg, sugar, flour*, lemon juice, lemon rind (or peel) and milk. Pour into a custard cup.
4. Step4
   Carefully place the custard cup in the heated water.
5. Step5
   Cook at 100% power for 55 seconds (700-watt oven or for 38 seconds (1000-watt oven). Give container a half-way turn.
6. Step6
   Cook at 100% power for 50 seconds (700-watt oven) or for 35 seconds (1000-watt oven).
7. Step7
   Serve warm or chilled.
8. Step8
   If chilled pudding is "weepy" when eaten, increase the cooking time a little the next time the recipe is made, so that pudding will stay firm when chilled.
9. Step9
   *For a more cake-like pudding, increase flour to 3 tablespoons. Cooking time remains the same.
