INGREDIENTS
- 3.5 tbsp low fat margarine (50g)
- 3 tbsp sweetener I used Natvia
- 2 lemons juice from both, zest from one
- 3 eggs separated
- 6 tbsp all purpose flour
- 1 cup skimmed milk (250ml)
- 1 tsp vanilla paste or extract
- 1 tsp icing sugar / powdered sugar to dust
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 180°C / 160°C Fan /Gas 4 / 350°F.
- Place the low fat spread / margarine, the sweetener and the zest of 1 lemon into a bowl and using a hand held mixer, whisk until just combined.
- Add the lemon juice of both lemons, vanilla paste, egg yolks, flour and milk one by one, whilst continuing to mix until you have a smooth batter.
- Clean your whisk attachment thoroughly.
- In a separate clean bowl whisk the egg whites until they produce soft peaks – when you remove the whisk the peaks will just hold their shape for a second or so before collapsing.
- Gently fold the two mixtures together using a metal spoon.
- Don’t over mix as you want to keep the mixture light and fluffy with as much air left in as possible to get some rise.
- Spoon the mixture into an ovenproof dish ( I used one that measured 7 ½ inches square).
- Fill a baking tray half full of hot water and place the ovenproof dish in the centre.
- Place in the middle of the oven and bake for 45 – 50 minutes until the top turns golden brown and has set.
- There will be a creamy lemony sauce below.
- Top with a light dusting of icing / powdered sugar.
