Lemon Delight

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Lemon Delight.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C). This will ensure your dessert bakes evenly and comes out just right.

2. Step 2

   In a mixing bowl, whisk together the white sugar, all-purpose flour, and salt until well combined. This dry mixture will form the base of your lemon delight.

3. Step 3

   Next, stir in the skim milk, fresh lemon juice, beaten egg yolks, and zesty lemon peel. Mix until everything is smooth and well incorporated, creating a luscious lemony batter.

4. Step 4

   In a separate glass or metal bowl, beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. This is the secret to achieving that light, airy texture in your dessert. When you lift your beater, the peaks should stand tall and proud!

5. Step 5

   Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the lemon mixture. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites; you want to keep that airy texture. Once combined, pour the mixture into a 1-quart baking dish.

6. Step 6

   To create a gentle baking environment, place your baking dish in a larger pan. Pour water into the outer pan until it reaches about 1 inch deep, creating a water bath that will help your dessert cook evenly and prevent it from drying out.

7. Step 7

   Now, it's time to bake! Place the pan in your preheated oven and let it bake for about 50 minutes, or until the center is set. The aroma of lemon will fill your kitchen, making it hard to wait!

8. Step 8

   Once baked, you can serve your lemon delight warm or let it cool and serve it chilled. Either way, it's a refreshing treat that will brighten your day.
