  • Milk130 cc
  • Sugar2 tbsp
  • Vanilla extract2-3 drops
  • Caramel sauceto taste (about 1 tsp per pudding)
Allergens
eggmilk

Directions

30 min
  1. 1

    Pour 130 cc of milk and 2 tbsp of sugar into a small pot and warm gently to body temperature while dissolving the sugar. Be careful never to let it boil.

  2. 2

    Beat 1 egg in a bowl, then slowly add the warm milk from step 1 while mixing gently. Mix carefully until the mixture becomes smooth and uniform.

  3. 3

    Strain the egg mixture through a fine sieve 1-2 times to make it even smoother. Do this at least once. Add 2-3 drops of vanilla extract and mix gently.

  4. 4

    Pour about 1 tsp of caramel sauce into a heat-resistant ramekin, then pour in the egg mixture. Remove any bubbles from the surface with a spoon and cover tightly with aluminum foil.

  5. 5

    Place the ramekin in a pot and fill the pot with water up to about halfway up the side of the ramekin. Remove the ramekin and bring the water to a boil.

  6. 6

    Once boiling, return the pudding ramekin to the pot, reduce heat to low, and cover. Cook for 7 minutes, then turn off the heat and let it sit for another 7 minutes without removing the lid.

  7. 7

    Gently shake the ramekin - if the pudding jiggles smoothly, it's done! If it's still too soft, add 1 minute of additional cooking at a time.

  8. 8

    A smooth pudding with no bubbles is something truly special when made at home. Please give it a try!

Tips

The key is maintaining the correct water level and following the 7+7 minute cooking time. Be careful not to let the water boil.
