Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar together until the mixture becomes pale and fluffy—this usually takes about 5 minutes. The texture is magical! It should fall back into the bowl in ribbons when you lift the whisk. If you haven’t already, let me remind you to zest that lemon; the fragrance is just divine! Add the lemon juice, zest, flour, baking powder, and salt to the egg mixture, folding it gently to combine. You want to keep that airiness! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
