Instructions

  1. Beat the yolks with the sugar several minutes; whip the whites stiff and fold together gently.
  2. Pour heaped onto a buttered flameproof platter and put into a hot country oven.
  3. After 5 minutes score the top, dust with confectioners' sugar, and finish baking (10-12 minutes total).
  4. Do not let the top burn; serve immediately. A little lemon juice helps it puff.
