Ingredients
- 1/2 pound Unsalted butter
- 1/2 pound Powdered sugar
- 6 count Large eggs
- 1 count Lemon zest
- 1/2 pound Raisins
- 2 tablespoons Citron, finely chopped (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
- 1/2 pound All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Blanched almonds, pounded (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
- 0 as needed Sweet brandy or fruit sauce (For serving)
Instructions
- 1In a large bowl, cream together the butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 5 minutes.
- 2Add the egg yolks one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the grated lemon zest.
- 3Stone the raisins and add them to the mixture, along with the finely chopped citron.
- 4Gradually add the flour, which has been sifted three or four times, to the mixture. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, and then gently fold them into the batter.
- 5Butter a pudding mold generously. Sprinkle the bottom and sides with the blanched and pounded almonds.
- 6Pour the mixture into the prepared mold. Place the mold in a large pot with simmering water, ensuring the water comes halfway up the sides of the mold. Cover the pot and steam for 3 hours, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Alternatively, bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 2.5-3 hours.
- 7Remove the pudding from the mold and serve warm with sweet brandy or fruit sauce.
