Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter
110g
2 tbsp lemon zest
30g
1/3 cup lemon juice
63g
1.50 cups sugar
300g
1/2 cup self-raising flour
72g
1.50 cups milk (1% fat)
360g
4 eggs
200g

Instructions:

1. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter (110g) and the sugar (300g) until the mixture is light and fluffy. This usually takes about 3-5 minutes with an electric mixer.
2. Add Lemon Zest and Juice: Mix in the lemon zest (30g) and lemon juice (63g) until well combined.
3. Separate Eggs: Separate the egg whites and yolks. Set the whites aside in a clean, dry bowl.
4. Add Egg Yolks: Beat the egg yolks into the lemon mixture one at a time, ensuring each yolk is fully incorporated before adding the next.
5. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Sift the self-raising flour (72g) and gently fold it into the lemon mixture until just combined.
6. Mix in Milk: Gradually add the milk (360g) into the mixture, stirring gently until smooth.
7. Whip Egg Whites: In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. This will take about 5-7 minutes with an electric mixer on high speed.
8. Fold in Egg Whites: Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the lemon mixture. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites; fold until just combined for a light and airy batter.
9. Pour into Dish: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish or divide evenly among the ramekins.
10. Bake: Place the dish or ramekins in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
11. Cool: Allow the lemon delicious to cool in the dish or ramekins for about 10 minutes before serving.
12. Serve: Serve warm, optionally dusted with powdered sugar and a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat. Enjoy!
Note: The self-raising flour can be substituted with a mixture of plain flour and baking powder if it's not available. Simply use 1/2 cup (72g) of plain flour and add 1 teaspoon of baking powder.

Tips:

- Fresh Lemons: Use fresh lemons for the zest and juice to ensure the best flavor. The freshness will make a significant difference in the taste of your dessert.

- Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature for easier mixing and better texture.

- Proper Mixing: Cream the butter and sugar well before adding other ingredients. This helps in achieving a lighter and fluffier texture.

- Baking Dish: Use a baking dish that is the right size to ensure even cooking. Too large or too small can affect the texture and cooking time.

- Water Bath: Consider baking the Lemon Delicious in a water bath to prevent the edges from overcooking and to achieve a creamy texture throughout.

- Serving: Allow the dessert to cool slightly before serving. This helps the flavors to meld together and makes it easier to serve.
