Lemon Pudding Cakes

A cross between a lemon pudding and a light and delicate lemon cake, these pudding cakes are the perfect dessert when you can’t decide what to make.

In a large bowl whisk together ¼ cup sugar, flour and salt. In another bowl whisk together the milk, egg yolks, lemon zest and juice. In a third bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form, adding the remaining ¼ cup sugar as you are beating. Add egg yolk mixture into large bowl with flour, stirring until well mixed. Stir in 1/3 of the egg whites until smooth, then gently fold in the remaining whites.
Butter 8 6oz ramekins and place in a large roasting pan. Fill 2/3 full with batter and pour in boiling water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake at 350°F for 30-40 minutes, or until top edges start to turn golden, and start to pull away from the edge. The longer they cook, the less pudding will be in the bottom. Remove from water bath and allow to cool to room temperature. Cover and chill until cold, about 4 hours. Dust with icing sugar if desired to serve.
