  • 3

    In a large bowl, beat together butter, egg yolks, lemon juice and lemon zest. In a small bowl, combine sugar, flour and salt: add alternately with the milk to the egg mixture.

    Pour batter into the prepared ramekins and set the ramekins in a large baking dish. Pour hot water into the baking dish to a level about halfway up the side of the ramekins. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until tops are golden brown. Serve the cakes warm or chilled. Garnish with berries or a dusting of powdered sugar.
