Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Set a kettle of water to boil. Butter six 6-ounce custard cups and place in a dish towel-lined baking dish or roasting pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk egg yolks and sugar until light; whisk in flour. Gradually whisk in lemon juice, then milk and zest.
- With an electric mixer, beat egg whites and salt until soft peaks form. Add to lemon batter and fold in gently with a whisk (batter will be quite liquid).
- Divide batter among prepared custard cups; place baking dish in oven and fill with boiling water to reach halfway up sides of cups. Bake until puffed and lightly browned (but pudding is still visible in bottom), 20 to 25 minutes. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature, dusted with confectioners' sugar.

MARGARET ATWOOD'S BAKED LEMON CUSTARD CAKE
This is a really neat recipe because, as the batter bakes, it separates into two distinctive layers - cake on top and custard on the bottom. It looks very impressive, guests will have no idea how simple it is to prepare! This custard/cake has a very bold lemony flavour. (It also works well with Splenda so can be modified for diabetics.) If you don't have individual ramekins, this can be made in a deep pie pan or an 8x8 baking pan. Margaret Atwood is an iconic Canadian author and the recipe was published in Bon Appétit (Jan. 2006).

LEMON PUDDING CAKE
A moist lemon cake sits atop a delicate custard in this recipe, adapted from Ian Knauer's book "The Farm." The magic is in the cooking: Setting a 8-inch baking dish in a roasting pan filled halfway with water allows the custard to form while the top bakes. It's an excellent party dish, warm and just out of the oven. But it's equally as good out of the fridge, its flavors melded and mellowed.

Steps:
- Place a large roasting pan on a rack in the center of the oven. Fill the pan halfway with water. With the pan inside, heat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter an 8-inch square or round baking dish.

- Whip the egg whites until soft peaks form, then gently fold them into the batter.
- Pour batter into the buttered dish. Place the dish in the pan of water in the oven. Bake until the cake is set, about 45 minutes.
