How to make it

  • Procedure:
  • 1. To make the Filling, mix egg yolks and condensed milk in a double boiler. Simmer, stirring constantly until most thick, about 20 minutes. Add the butter and sugar and continue stirring for 5 minutes.
  • 2. Fold the lemon zest into the mixture. Continue stirring over simmering water until orange in color and thick, about 5 to 10 more minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • 3. To make the Meringue, beat egg whites and cream of tartar in a large bowl of an electric mixer until soft peaks start to form. Gradually add the sugar and extract, if desired, and continue beating until stiff peaks form about 10 minutes. Do not overbeat.
  • 4.Preheat oven to 190 degree Celsius (375 degree Fahrenheit). Line greased baking tray with wax paper well or foil. Sprinkle with icing sugar . Spread the egg white mixture on wax paper or foil covering it entirely & making sure it is well level off. Bake until top is brown, about 10 minutes.
  • 5. Have another greased baking tray ready. Line with greased waxed paper as before. Invert the egg white meringue onto this waxed paper so that brown side is below. Peel off wax paper or foil from meringue.
  • 6. Spread egg yolk filling on the egg white meringue. Starting from long side, fold one side of the meringue towards the middle, then fold other side over enclosing filling completely with meringue in a jelly roll fashion. Dust with icing sugar.
