Lemon Dainty

Ingredients

• 2 egg yolks, well beaten
• 1 cup white sugar
• 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup skim milk
• 1.5 teaspoons lemon zest
• 0.25 cup lemon juice

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Whisk egg yolks together in a small bowl until well combined. Whisk sugar, flour, and salt in a large bowl; stir in yolks, milk, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
3. Beat egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until stiff peaks form; fold into lemon-flour mixture. Pour into a 1-quart baking dish.
4. Set the baking dish in a baking pan; add enough hot water to come about 1 inch up the sides of the dish.
5. Bake in the preheated oven until set in the center, about 50 minutes. Serve warm or cold.
