Baked Orange Pudding with Orange Syrup

Make orange juice from 2 oranges. Separate the egg yolks and egg whites. In a wide bowl, beat the egg whites with a mixer for 3-4 minutes in high speed. Then lower the speed and beat them until they are firm. This is most tedious part.

Preheat the oven at 180 degree C. Grease your bowl or ramekins with little butter and set aside.

In a bowl take butter and sugar. Mix till well combined. Add the orange zest and flour. Mix well and add 4-5 tblsp. of orange juice. Now add the egg yolks. Mix and add milk gradually to make a smooth batter.

Then add the egg whites into the batter and slowly fold it to the batter. Pour the batter into the prepared baking bowl or ramekins. Prepare a large oven proof dish with water. Place the baking bowl/ramekins in it.

Bake at 180 degrees C for 25-30 minutes or until pudding is set. Just do a toothpick test, if a toothpick inserted in the middle of the pudding comes out clean, then it's done.

After it was done, I put them under the grill for 5 minutes to make the top little brown. Serve in room temperature or chilled.

Making the Orange sauce : Heat a pan, add the butter and sugar. Cook till the butter melts and is well combined with the sugar. Add the remaining orange juice and honey.

Mix and cook till the sauce thickens a bit. Add cornflour and remove from heat when the sauce thickens like a syrup. Orange Sauce/Syrup is ready. Pour over the pudding just before serving.
