  • Pour the lemon mixture into the sugar mixture, and whisk until well combined.
  • In a medium bowl, beat the egg whites until firm peaks form.
  • Gently fold the egg whites into the lemon mixture.
  • Divide the batter between the prepared ramekins, and transfer them to a small roasting pan.
  • Place the pan in the oven, and pour in enough hot water to reach halfway up the sides of the ramekins.

  • Transfer the ramekins to a rack to cool for 20 minutes.
  • Dust the tops with powdered sugar, if using, and enjoy!
