How to cook deliciously - Lemon Custard Cakes

1. Stage

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Set a kettle of water to boil. Butter six 6-ounce custard cups and place in a dish towel-lined baking dish or roasting pan.

2. Stage

In a large bowl, whisk egg yolks and sugar until light; whisk in flour. Gradually whisk in lemon juice, then milk and zest.

3. Stage

With an electric mixer, beat egg whites and salt until soft peaks form. Add to lemon batter and fold in gently with a whisk (batter will be quite liquid).

Bake until puffed and lightly browned (but pudding is still visible in bottom), 20 to 25 minutes.
