Great for if you like lemon desserts, you can put thickened cream on afterwards which acts as a flavour enhancer.
Preparation 20 minutes
Cooking 35 minutes


Ingredients (serves 4)

  • 50g butter
  • 3/4 cup caster sugar
  • finely grated zest and juice 2 lemons
  • 4 eggs, separated
  • 1/4 cup self-raising flour
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • icing sugar, for dusting
  • cream and lemon peel strips, to serve

Method

  1. Preheat oven to moderately slow, 160C. Lightly grease 4 x 1-cup ramekins. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream the butter, half the sugar and all the zest together until light and fluffy. Beat in egg-yolks and flour. Gradually beat in lemon juice and milk, until well combined.
  2. In a clean bowl, using an electric mixer, beat egg-whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining sugar until the mixture is thick and glossy. Gently fold through lemon mixture. Pour evenly between prepared ramekins.
  3. Place ramekins in a large baking pan. Fill baking dish with boiling water until it comes halfway up the side of the ramekins. Bake for 30-35 minutes until firm and golden. Dust with icing sugar. Serve with cream. Top with lemon strips, if desired.

Notes

Tip - It will take about 1 hour to cook if using 1 large dish. This dish is quite saucy in the base.

  • So funny that I found this recipe today. I was cleaning out my cupboard yesterday and I found some ramekins that I’ve hardly used. Was wondering what to do wirh them but after seeing this recipe, I know. Love lemon flavoured dessert and the single serves are a great idea 🙂

  • Ooooh, these look absolutely more-ish. I love the sweetness and bite of lemon-flavoured desserts, and these would be so much nicer than just plain old puddings.
