STICKY SELF SAUCING ORANGE PUDDING


STICKY SELF SAUCING ORANGE PUDDING
50 grams butter
200 grams caster sugar
2 large oranges, zested
3 large, free-range eggs, separated
50 grams cake flour
1⁄3 cup buttermilk
1 cup orange juice
3 tablespoons marmalade
chocolate ice cream, for serving
grilled citrus fruit, for serving
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Cream the butter, caster sugar and orange zest until pale and fluffy. Add the egg yolks, flour and milk to the butter-and-sugar mixture, mixing to combine. Don’t be alarmed if the mixture appears lumpy or curdled.
In another bowl, whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form. Add a spoonful of the whites to the flour mixture and gently combine. Gradually fold in the remaining egg whites, trying to keep as much air as possible. Spoon into a greased 22 cm ovenproof dish.
Pour the orange juice over the pudding and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until lightly golden and set.
During the last 5 minutes of baking time, mix the marmalade with 1⁄4 cup boiling water, spoon over the pudding and place under the grill until sticky.
Serve warm with chocolate ice cream.
