Instructions
Preparation
Prepare 1 7-inch pie dish
Make egg yolk batter
Add egg yolks, 60 g granulated sugar, and salt to a mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until the granulated sugar is fully dissolved, then stir in milk until smooth. Sift cake flour into the egg yolk mixture, stir gently to combine, then add vegetable oil and mix until uniform.
Whip egg whites
Whip egg whites until foamy. Add the remaining granulated sugar in 2 separate batches, whipping continuously. Add lemon juice when adding the second batch of sugar. Whip until soft peaks form, just short of stiff peaks.
Combine and bake
Add the whipped egg whites to the batter in 3 batches, folding gently each time to incorporate. Pour the batter into the prepared pie dish, place it in a preheated oven, and bake at 175°C.
