Baking

Fill Ramekins
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling them about 3/4 full.

Bake
Place the ramekins on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still soft.

Cool Slightly
Remove the ramekins from the oven and let them cool for about 1-2 minutes. This will help the molten center to set slightly.
