Step-by-Step Instructions
How to Make Caramel
Combine the Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, combine 5.29 oz sugar, 0.81 tsp water, and 1 tbsp lemon juice. Stir gently to combine.
Heat the Mixture: Place the saucepan over medium heat. Allow the sugar to dissolve without stirring. As the mixture heats, it will begin to bubble and change color.
Watch for Color Change: Once the sugar syrup begins to turn a light amber color, reduce the heat to low. This process can take a few minutes, so be patient and keep a close eye on it to avoid burning.
Spread the Caramel: Tilt the saucepan carefully to spread the caramel evenly. Let it cook for an additional 2 minutes to deepen the color and flavor, then remove from heat.
Pour and Cool: Carefully pour the hot caramel into your pudding cups, coating the bottom evenly. Set the cups aside to cool while you prepare the pudding.
How to Make Pudding
Prepare the Egg Mixture: Separate one egg yolk from the white, reserving the white for later use. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 egg yolk, 3 whole eggs, and 2.12 oz sugar. Whisk together until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.
