Ingredients

60 g unsalted butter
1 cup caster sugar
1 tbsp finely grated lemon zest
125 ml (½ cup) lemon juice
½ tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
3 eggs, separated
375 ml (1½ cups) milk
⅓ cup plain flour

Method

Heat oven to 180°C (160°C fan). Put a kettle on. Grease a 5–6 cup ceramic baking dish.
Melt butter. Whisk in sugar, zest, juice, vanilla, salt and egg yolks until combined. Whisk in milk, then flour — the batter is thin.
Beat egg whites to stiff peaks. Fold into the batter in two lots; a few streaks are fine.
Pour into the dish. Sit the dish in a roasting pan and pour in boiling water halfway up the sides.
Bake 35 minutes (ramekins about 30) until the top is golden and set, with a saucy layer underneath. Serve warm, cream or ice cream on the side.

Tip: The water bath is what gives you cake on top and lemon sauce underneath. Extra-saucy version uses more milk. Serve soon after baking.
