- Combine the eggs with the sugar, the salt and the lemon zest, and whip until it's foamy. Gradually add the lemon juice and the butter alternately.
- Combine with the flour and mix gently so the foam doesn't collapse.

Egg white foam on top:
- You can decorate the top of your pie with some egg white foam.
- For this, whip 2 egg whites almost completely. Before it becomes firm, add 8 tbs of powdered sugar and 2 tbs of lemon juice, and whip completely.
