Lemon Pepper Pudding

Lemon Pepper Pudding
 
 3/4 cup Sugar
 1 dash Salt
 2 teaspoons Freshly-ground black pepper
 1/4 cup All-purpose flour
 3 tablespoons Melted butter
 2 teaspoons Grated lemon peel
 1/4 cup Lemon juice
 1 1/2 cups Milk
 3 Egg yolks; well beaten
 3 Egg whites; stiffly beaten

Instructions:

In a bowl combine sugar, a dash of salt and pepper and flour. Stir in melted butter, lemon peel and juice. Combine milk, egg yolks, and add to the lemon mixture. Fold in egg whites. Pour mixture into an 8- by 8- by 2-inch baking pan, or individual soufflé cups (place these into a large pan). Place in the oven. Pour hot water into the large pan in the oven 1 1/2 to 2 inches deep. Bake the large pan at 350ºF.  for 40 minutes. If using the smaller soufflé cups, 20 to 25 minutes until golden. Serve warm. This recipe yields 6 servings. Comments: This dessert is interesting. The cake bakes on top and a creamy lemon pudding rests at the bottom. Dust with powdered sugar and top with fresh strawberries.
