Melted Onions

                                       Easy Peasy and Quick

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). 

Peel and cut three small onions in half crosswise (through their equator) 

Place halves in 6 small ramekins. 

Generously season with salt and pepper,  

Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, until soft. 

Melt 1 tbsp (15 mL) butter and brush over onion tops. 

Bake until deeply golden, up to 40 minutes.

Sometimes I add pieces of a beef bouillon cube for extra flavor.  It tastes like French Onion Soup.

Lemon Pudding Cake .....

Lemon Pudding Cake

 The batter separates into a sponge cake layer atop a pudding bottom.

Ingredients:

2 eggs separated

1/2 cup sugar

2 tablespoons all purpose flour

1 cup milk

2 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

2 teaspoons fresh lemon zest

1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350. Set 6 ramekins (6 oz. each) in a 9 by 13 inch baking pan. Set aside.

In a large bowl, whisk together egg yolks and sugar until thick and creamy. Stir in flour,milk, butter, lemon juice, and lemon zest.

In a large clean bowl, whip egg whites and salt until firm (but not dry) peaks form. Stir one quarter of beaten egg whites into egg yolk mixture until blended, then gently fold in remaining egg whites.

Pour batter into ramekins. Pour enough HOT water into the baking pan to come 1 inch up sides of ramekins.

Bake until cake layers are set and tops are lightly golden, about 30 minutes. Remove ramekins from water bath and let cool to room temperature before serving.
