  1. Beat the egg yolks and whites separately until very light. Mix them together, then add the four tablespoons of powdered sugar and a little grated lemon peel.
  2. Melt a quarter pound of butter in a pan. Pour in the egg mixture and stir until the eggs have absorbed the butter.
  3. Turn the mixture out onto a plate that has been previously buttered. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
  4. Set it in a hot Dutch oven and when it becomes a little brown, serve it up for a dessert.
