Steamed Lemon Pudding

This is so easy and so tasty. I admit to my anglophile ways and have a pudding steamer. I just pop the batter in the sealed container and use the crock pot as a water bath.

Ingredients

1 cup sugar

1/4 cup flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup lemon juice

1 tablespoon lemon zest, grated

3 eggs, separated

1 stick butter, melted

1 cup milk

1 tablespoon confectioners sugar

Directions

1. In a bowl combine sugar, flour and salt. Stir in lemon juice, lemon zest, egg yolks, butter and milk.
2. In another bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold gently into lemon mixture.
3. Pour into prepared bowl and cover tightly with aluminum foil (secure with an elastic band).
4. Place bowl in Crock-Pot® slow cooker and pour in enough water to come 1 inch up sides of bowl.

5. Cover and cook on High for 4 to 5 hours or until topping is set and light and fluffy. Sift icing over sponge before serving.
