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.

1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup lime or lemon juice
1 teaspoon grated lime or lemon peel
3 large eggs, separated
1-1/4 cups 2% milk

Directions

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.

Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 40-45 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean and top is golden. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Awesome flavour, quite tart so that you know that it is lime. I baked it in a casserole dish that holds 6 cups of water nicely, as I did not have the ramekins. It came out just a nicely.

Very good. You get to have both cake and pudding in the same dessert. I used 8 (4 oz.) ramekins. Made with a Mexican dish
