Instructions
- 1
Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 375°F (190°C). Using the softened butter, coat the inside of four 6-oz ramekins in upward strokes from the base to the rim. Add 2 tbsp granulated sugar to one ramekin, tilt and rotate to coat the bottom and sides evenly, then tip the excess into the next ramekin and repeat until all four are coated. Place the prepared ramekins on a baking sheet and refrigerate until needed.
