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

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks together until they are well combined. In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, and salt. Then, stir in the yolks, milk, lemon zest, and lemon juice until smooth.
In a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the lemon-flour mixture. Pour the combined mixture into a 1-quart baking dish.
Place the baking dish inside a larger baking pan. Carefully add enough hot water to the larger pan so that it comes approximately 1 inch up the sides of the baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven until the center is set, approximately 50 minutes. Serve warm or chilled for a perfect dessert.
