🥄 The Great Secret of the Perfect Pudding
What makes a pudding turn out perfect and error-free? The answer lies in the cooking time and temperature.
Most people make mistakes such as:
❌ Oven too hot, which creates air bubbles.
❌ Overmixing the ingredients, incorporating air into the mixture.
❌ Unmolding before it has completely cooled, causing the pudding to crack.
Now, check out the 7 foolproof tips to guarantee a perfect pudding! 👇
✨ 7 Tips for the Perfect Pudding
1️⃣ Always use fresh eggs – The taste of the pudding depends on the quality of the ingredients. If the eggs are old, they may give off a strong odor and affect the final flavor.
2️⃣ Do not overmix the batter – Just mix until the ingredients are incorporated. Overmixing creates air bubbles, resulting in a pudding full of unwanted holes.
3️⃣ Sift the mixture before baking – This removes any egg residues and improves the texture, leaving the pudding creamier and more uniform.
4️⃣ Bake at a low temperature (150°C) – This prevents air bubbles from forming and ensures slow, even cooking, giving the pudding a silky texture.
5️⃣ Cover the mold with aluminum foil – The foil prevents the surface of the pudding from drying out and helps retain the moisture of the recipe, ensuring more balanced cooking.
6️⃣ Use the water bath correctly – The water in the bain-marie should be warm when it goes into the oven and must cover at least half of the pudding mold. This way, the heat is distributed evenly.
7️⃣ Cool completely before unmolding – After baking, let it cool to room temperature and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before unmolding. This guarantees a firm and attractive pudding.
🚨 Common Mistakes That Ruin Pudding
❌ Stirring the caramel while the sugar melts – This causes the sugar to crystallize and the caramel to harden.
❌ Oven too hot or too cold – Puddings baked above 180°C risk developing holes; below 130°C, they may remain undercooked.
❌ Unmolding while hot – The pudding may break if unmolded before it is completely cool.
