  • Zest of one lemon
  • A scant teaspoon of lemon juice
  • A pinch of salt
  • 5 tablespoons of sugar

  2. Whip the Egg Whites: In another bowl, beat the egg whites with sugar and salt until stiff peaks form.
  3. Combine: Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture from the bottom up to retain airiness.
