Snow Pudding

How to make it

1. 1

   Put the granulated sugar dry in an iron pot, set it over the heat and stir until the sugar melts and turns light brown.

2. 2

   When the sugar has taken on a nice brown color, pour it at once into a smooth tin mold, turning it so that the mold is coated all over with the sugar.

3. 3

   Beat the egg whites quite stiff, stir in the sugar a spoonful at a time, with the vanilla well blended into it; when the sugar in the mold has set and is quite cold, add the egg-white mixture.

4. 4

   Cover the mold with a sheet of white paper greased with cold butter, then with a lid.

5. 5

   Set the mold in boiling water and simmer for 0.5 hour, either on top of the stove, or put it in the oven once the water in the pot or pan has come to a boil. In the oven, 20 minutes are needed.

6. 6

   As soon as the pudding is done, it must be turned out and served with the following sauce (caramel sauce).
