Milk, cardamom and apple pudding
The mixture can be made a day ahead and baked just before lunch or dinner.
Ingredients
4 small to medium new-season apples
500ml un-homogenised, organic or biodynamic milk
2 eggs
50g plain flour, sifted through a fine sieve
Grated rind of 1 lemon
Small pinch ground cardamom
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
Pinch salt
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
8 tsp castor sugar
Method
Preheat oven to 170 degrees.
Peel apples, core and cut into 5mm-thick wedges. Set aside.
In a bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, sifted flour, lemon rind, cardamom, vanilla essence and salt until smooth. Any lumps of flour need to be completely dissolved.
Thoroughly grease eight individual tart moulds with olive oil and ladle about 80ml mixture into each.
Carefully arrange apple wedges on liquid. Don't worry if they float or sink; it won't affect the final dish. Sprinkle 1 tsp castor sugar evenly over the surface of each pudding.
Place on trays and bake in oven for about 20 minutes until just set. Remove and let cool before serving.
