Zubereitung von Meyer Lemon Custard Cakes
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Butter eight 3/4-cup ramekins or custard cups.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons (70g) granulated sugar, 1/4 cup (30g) all-purpose flour, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups (475ml) whole milk, 4 large egg yolks, 1/4 cup (60ml) freshly squeezed Meyer lemon juice, and the zest of 1 Meyer lemon.
- Whisk until the yolk mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour mixture) to the yolk mixture, whisking constantly until a smooth custard is formed.
- In a clean, dry bowl, using an electric mixer, beat 4 large egg whites until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup (35g) granulated sugar to the egg whites and continue beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
- Gently fold 1/4 of the beaten egg whites into the custard to lighten it.
- Fold in the remaining egg whites in two additions, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
- Divide the custard evenly among the prepared ramekins.
- Place the ramekins in a large roasting pan.
- Pour enough hot water into the roasting pan to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins (this creates a bain-marie for even baking).
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the custard cakes are golden brown and set in the center. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly in the pan before removing the ramekins.
- Chill the custard cakes uncovered for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, then cover and refrigerate.
- Before serving, run a small knife around the edge of each custard cake to loosen it from the ramekin.
- Invert each cake onto a serving plate.
- Top with a dollop of whipped crème fraîche (see optional step below) and serve immediately.
