Ingredients

• 1 lb Fresh cheese
• 1 cup Sugar
• 4 Eggs
• 1/2 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 tsp Cinnamon
• 1 Lemon
• 2 tbsp Butter

Steps

1. Beat the cheese with sugar until completely smooth — no lumps, or the texture suffers.
2. Whisk in the eggs one at a time, then the flour, cinnamon, and lemon zest.
3. Butter the molds generously; queijadas cling if you skimp.
4. Fill nearly to the top; they puff as they bake.
5. Bake at 375 degrees 25 minutes until set with golden, freckled tops.
6. Cool in the molds 10 minutes before unmolding; serve at room temperature.
