Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by separating the egg whites from the yolks into two separate bowls.
  2. In the bowl with the yolks, whisk together 3 large yolks with 60ml of milk, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and the zest of half a lemon.
  3. Sift in 80g of all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon of baking powder, stirring gently until just combined and smooth.
  4. In a clean bowl, add the egg whites and a splash of 1 teaspoon of white vinegar or lemon juice.
  5. Using a handheld or stand mixer, beat the egg whites on medium speed until frothy.
  6. Gradually add 30g of granulated sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
  7. Gently fold one-third of the meringue into the yolk mixture using a spatula.
  8. Fold in the remaining two-thirds of the meringue carefully.
  9. Heat a non-stick pan over low heat and lightly grease it with neutral oil.
  10. Portion the batter into 2-3 mounds in the pan. Cover and cook for 7-8 minutes.

  12. Serve immediately while warm, topping with whipped cream, fresh fruits, or powdered sugar.
