This old-time dessert was always a real treat. My mother, Lois, baked it for us. Now I share it with my loved ones, too. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons butter, softened |
1-1/2 cups sugar |
1/3 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup lime or lemon juice |
1 teaspoon grated lime or lemon peel |
3 eggs, separated |
1-1/4 cups 2% milk |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, beat butter and sugar until crumbly. Add the flour, salt, lime juice and peel; mix well. Beat in egg yolks and milk until smooth. In another bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form; gently fold into batter.
2. Pour into six ungreased 6-oz. custard cups. Place cups in a large baking pan; add 1 in. of boiling water to pan.
3. Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 40-45 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean and top is golden. Serve warm or at room temperature. Yield: 6 servings.
