Method:

1. Preheat oven to 180C (356F).
2. Grease 4 large ovenproof tea cups or 4 x 1 1/2 cup (375mL) capacity ramekins.
3. Beat butter and sugar with electric mixer until 'pale'.
4. Add the lemon rind and egg yolks, beat until smooth.
5. Sift the flour and baking powder into mixture and beat to combine.
6. Add the lemon juice and milk, beat until smooth. (Be careful when beating the milk it splats a bit!)
7. Whisk the egg whites in another bowl until stiff peaks form. Fold into the lemon mixture using a wooden spoon.
8. Pour the mixture evenly into the greased cups, then place them in an oven tray.
9. Fill the oven tray with enough boiled water to come halfway up the side of the cups. Bake for 20-25 mins or until risen and golden. Allow to cool slightly before serving. Makes 4.

Note: You can use a large lemon in place of lemon rind and 1/3 cup lemon juice. 1 large lemon will give you enough rind and SHOULD give you enough juice for the recipe. Have some extra lemons/lemon juice on hand if it is short.
