This recipe was given to me by my mother-in-law. It was the comfort food she served to her children when they were sick, and it is known in our family only as “Sick Food.” Of course, it could be make for other occasions as well.
NB: This is so delicious, you may want to double the recipe. It disappears fast, serves maybe 2 (with seconds, of course).
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons butter (+ amount needed for greasing baking dish)
⅔ cup sugar
2 eggs, separated
Juice & zest of one large lemon (approx. 3 tablespoons)
⅓ cup flour
¼ teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups milk
Grease an 8x8 square baking dish.
Beat egg whites. Set aside. Mix softened butter with sugar. Mix in each of the following separately: 2 egg yolks; salt and flour; juice and zest; and milk. Fold in beaten egg whites. Pour mixture into the greased baking dish.
Water bath: Place baking dish in a larger baking pan. Fill the larger pan with enough water to reach ½ to 1 inch up the sides. Bake 45 minutes in a 375º oven.
