Lemon pudding cake anyone?

We have a Meyer's Lemon Tree in our yard, so I like to make these tasty little pudding cakes on a whim!

Meyer Lemon Pudding Cakes

2 eggs separated
3/4 cup sugar
3 1/2 Tblsp unsalted butter melted
1/8 tsp cream of tartar
5 Tblsp all purpose flour
5 Tblsp meyer lemon juice
zest of 1 lemon
1 1/4 cup milk (whole or 2%)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F

Cream egg yolks and sugar.  Add flour, butter, lemon juice and lemon zest, and milk.  Blend well.
In another bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar till peaks form.  Fold into the other mixture.  It will be thin.
Spoon into small ramekins till 3/4 full.  Put ramekins into baking pan with sides.  Add hot water till up to 1" from bottom of ramekins. 

Bake in oven for 30-35 minutes, or until top is golden.  Cool 20-30 minutes, or chill in fridge till cold. 

Bon et au goût âpre!
