Author Notes

This recipe was passed down in my family from my father's grandmother "Nan." I never did meet her but my father has told me how the women in his family were amazing bakers and cooks. He gave me a collection of their recipes and this was the first one to catch my eye, partly because it looks easy but also because I love the scent of freshly grated lemon. It has a smooth, mellow taste.

I've changed the instructions slightly. It originally called for butter "the size of a walnut" which I interpreted to mean 1 tablespoon. I also used soy milk instead of dairy milk since that was all I had on hand. —KitKat84

How many cups of sugar are needed? And also egg whites are just beaten or is it to stiff peaks or....? These are my doubts.

I have those same yellow tubs for dry goods! Their getting on in years and certainly not all that stylish, but I love them all the same.
