  • In a baking dish big enough to add 6 ramekins ( I used 2 smaller dish as i didn't have bigger tray) place the filled bowl in the baking tray.  
  • Pour hot water in the baking dish  till the filled ramekins are half immersed in the water ( This is water bath baking method) 
  • Place the tray in the preheated oven & bake for 30-35 min or till the toothpick inserted comes out clean.
