~*~*~ Lemon Sponge Pie ~*~*~

Ingredients:
(1) 9" unbaked pie crust
3 large eggs, separated
2 T. fresh grated lemon peel
2/3 cup fresh lemon juice
1 cup whole milk
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/3 cup flour
1/4 tsp salt

Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Beat egg whites in a large mixer bowl until stiff peaks form, then set aside. Beat the egg yolks; then beat in the lemon peel, lemon juice and milk. Add the sugar, flour and salt; beat until smooth. Fold lemon mixture into egg whites. Pour into unbaked pie crust. Bake until golden brown, 45 to 50 minutes. A layer of lemon will settle to the bottom and a soft meringue-like topping will float to the top. Nothing needed but a spoon. ~ Chef ~
