Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup low-fat milk
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 3 large egg whites
  • Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly oil four 6-ounce custard cups or ramekins or coat them with cooking spray.
  2. Beat sugar, whole egg, butter and lemon zest in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer until the mixture is thick and pale, about 3 minutes. Add flour and beat until smooth. Add milk and lemon juice and beat until well blended.
  3. Beat egg whites in a clean mixing bowl using clean beaters until stiff but not dry. Gently fold the whites into the egg-sugar mixture until completely incorporated.
  4. Spoon the mixture into the prepared cups. Set in a shallow baking dish and add enough hot water to come two-thirds of the way up the sides. Bake until browned and set, about 30 minutes. Serve warm or chilled, dusted with confectioners’ sugar.
