1. 1.

   Preheat oven to 100°C (fan 80°C; gas: level 1). Separate eggs. Beat egg whites with salt and lemon juice until stiff peaks form. Whisk yolks with half the sugar, grated lemon zest, and milk. Gradually stir flour into a bowl and then fold in the egg‑milk mixture. Fold in the beaten egg whites.
