Preparation method Shape, Caramel and Pudding
- Dissolve the sugar in the water and transfer to a 24 cm diameter mold with a hole in the middle.
- Place the pan over low heat, without stirring, for approximately 10 minutes, until the syrup thickens and becomes slightly golden.
- Rotate the mold so that the caramel spreads throughout the inside.
- Boil water; Prepare a baking tray for the pudding to be baked in the oven in a bain-marie.
- Preheat the oven to 150ºC (low temperature).
- Using a mixer, at low speed, beat the egg whites and add a pinch of salt.
- When it starts to foam, increase the speed.
- Beat for approximately 12 minutes, or until very firm.
- Without turning off the mixer, add the sugar little by little and let it beat for another 10 minutes.
- Increase the oven temperature to 180ºC.
- Gradually and with the help of a spoon, transfer the beaten egg whites to the caramelized mold.
- Smooth it with the back of the spoon and lightly tap the side of the pan to settle the mixture well, which will ensure a uniform texture.
- Place the mold inside the baking dish with freshly boiled water and place it in the oven to bake in a bain-marie.
- Bake for approximately one hour, until the pudding is well colored.
- The pudding will rise a lot but will return to normal size when it comes out of the oven.
- Remove the pan from the oven and wait 5 minutes.
- Run a knife between the pudding and the side of the pan to loosen it.
- Turn out onto a high-sided plate.
- Wait for it to cool and put it in the fridge.
