A Bright Citrusy Dessert for Every Occasion

125 milliliters of granulated sugar

1/2 teaspoon of salt

1/4 cup melted unsalted butter

Two enormous, unrelated eggs

half a cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice

1/2 tablespoon of zest from a lemon

1.5 cups of milk

Sugar, powdered (optional), for dusting

Optional garnish: fresh berries

Optional: whipped cream for garnishing

Instructions:

Heat the oven to preheat: Make sure your oven is preheated at 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9×9-inch baking dish or separate ramekins with cooking spray.

To make the dry ingredients, put the flour, salt, and 1 cup of granulated sugar in a bowl and stir until smooth.

Melt the butter in a separate bowl. In a second bowl, mix together the egg yolks, milk, lemon juice, and zest until creamy.

Blend Wet and Dry components: Whisk in the wet components slowly until the dry ingredients are fully incorporated and a thick mixture forms.

Separate the egg whites and beat them in a separate clean dish until soft peaks emerge. While beating, gradually add the remaining half cup of granulated sugar. Beat until firm peaks are formed.
