How to Make Lemon Delicacy

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch pie plate or 1-quart baking dish.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 cup all-purpose flour, and 1/2 teaspoon salt until well combined.
  3. Add 3 large egg yolks and whisk until pale and slightly thickened.
  4. Gradually whisk in 1 cup whole milk, the zest and juice of 2 large lemons, and 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted.
  5. In a separate bowl, beat 3 large egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the lemon mixture until just combined.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.
  7. Place the baking dish in a larger roasting pan. Pour enough hot water into the roasting pan to come halfway up the sides of the baking dish (this creates a water bath for even baking).
  8. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let cool completely before serving chilled. Garnish with fresh berries or a dusting of powdered sugar (optional).
