Yield Makes 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

3/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons butter, room temperature
1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
3 large eggs, separated
3 tablespoons all purpose flour
1 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter six 3/4-cup custard cups or ramekins. Using electric mixer, beat sugar, butter, and lemon peel in large bowl to blend. Beat in egg yolks. Stir in flour in three additions alternately with buttermilk in two additions. Stir in lemon juice. Using clean dry beaters, beat egg whites in medium bowl until stiff but not dry. Fold egg whites into yolk mixture. Divide batter among prepared cups. Place ramekins in roasting pan. Add enough hot water to pan to come halfway up sides of cups.
  • Bake until cakes are set in center and beginning to brown, about 35 minutes. Remove ramekins from water bath. Serve hot or cold. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cool completely, cover, and refrigerate.)

I'm not a huge fan of lemon desserts, but this one was actually really good. The custard was light and airy, and the lemon flavor was just right.

I wasn't sure how this would turn out, but I was pleasantly surprised. The custard was light and fluffy, and the lemon flavor was subtle but noticeable.

I love the way this custard bakes up with a slightly browned top and a creamy, custardy center. It's the perfect comfort food on a cold day.

This lemon custard is delightful! The texture is smooth and creamy, and the lemon flavor is perfectly balanced - not too tart, not too sweet. I served it with fresh berries and it was a hit with my family.
