How to Make Perfect Egg Pudding: A Simple Guide

Egg pudding, a silky, comforting dessert, is beloved for its delicate texture and mild sweetness. Here’s a straightforward recipe to achieve creamy perfection at home.

Ingredients:

- 4 large eggs

- 500ml whole milk

- 80g sugar (adjust to taste)

- 1 tsp vanilla extract

Steps:

1. Prep: Preheat the oven to 160°C. Strain the mixture later for a smoother texture.

2. Mix: Whisk eggs and sugar until well combined. Heat milk gently (do not boil) with vanilla, then pour it into the egg mixture, stirring slowly.

3. Strain: Pour the mixture through a fine sieve to remove bubbles and lumps.

4. Bake: Pour into ramekins. Place them in a baking dish filled with hot water (water bath) to even cook. Bake for 30-35 minutes until set but slightly jiggly.

5. Chill: Cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to firm up.

Variations: Add matcha powder for a green tea twist, or top with caramel sauce for crème brûlée-style. Enjoy this classic dessert warm or cold!
