This is not your average buttermilk pudding with gelatin.
This is the South African version of buttermilk pudding and it’s, oh so delicious.
This buttermilk pudding recipe comes together easily for a delicious
treat. The South African cuisine is very rich, as it reflects the various
communities and ethnicities in South Africa. This huge diversity in the South African
community had resulted in a huge development in the South African cuisine, and
in turn created a wide range of dishes that have evolved and improved over
time.
One of these recipes that is very common in South Africa, is
buttermilk pudding.
This is nothing like the buttermilk pudding you’re used to
that contains gelatin. This simple, yet very tasty treat comes together from a
few simple ingredients that are guaranteed to be found in every household. No need
to run to the store to by specific ingredients or visit the international food
section in the supermarket. All you need for this buttermilk pudding is butter,
sugar, milk, and eggs!
You’ll start by creaming the room temperature butter and
sugar together with a hand mixer. The ratio of butter to sugar might seem off
in the beginning, but it will cream together nicely as you continue to beat it.
Add the egg yolks one by one onto the butter and sugar cream,
continuously beating with the hand mixer.
Add the flour and salt and continue to beat until all the
flour disappears into the mixture.
Slowly add the milks while you beat until combined. The batter
might feel runny at this point, but that’s okay.
In a separate clean bowl, beat the egg whites with the
vanilla until it just reaches the stiff peaks stage. Don’t overbeat, otherwise
it will not fold nicely into your batter.
Fold your egg whites into your batter and gently incorporate
it together with a spatula.
Once incorporated, divide the batter into your ramekins or
baking dish. Don’t fill it to the absolute top.
Place your ramekins on a baking sheet and bake on 180 degrees
C for an hour or until the center is set and the top is a beautiful shade of
golden brown.
Let cool completely once out of the oven before serving, if
serving warm.
Place in the fridge for at least an hour after it cools
completely before serving if you prefer to eat it cold.
You can serve it with your choice of sweet sauce or just as is.
