Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons softened unsalted butter
3/4 cup fresh blueberries
3/4 cup fresh raspberries
2 large eggs, separated
2/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup light cream
Pinch of salt
Confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Use 1 tablespoon of the butter to grease 4 8-ounce ramekins or souffle dishes. Set the buttered dishes in a baking pan at least 1 1/2 inches deep.
  • Spread berries in the bottoms of the dishes.
  • Beat egg yolks until light. Beat in sugar and remaining butter until mixture is creamy. Beat in lemon juice, zest and flour, and then whisk in the cream. Beat egg whites with salt until they hold peaks but are not dry. Fold egg whites into lemon batter, and spoon mixture over berries in each dish.
  • Pour boiling water into outer pan until it comes halfway up sides of baking dishes. Place in oven, and bake for approximately 40 minutes, until tops are puffed and golden brown.
  • Remove from oven, and allow to cool to room temperature. Dust with sifted confectioners' sugar before serving.
