Instructions

1.	Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
2.	In a saucepan, mix sugar, flour, and salt; stir in milk and lemon juice until smooth.
3.	Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and bubbly. Reduce heat, cook and stir for 2 minutes longer.
4.	Remove from the heat. Stir a small amount of hot mixture into egg yolks; return all to pan, stirring constantly.
5.	Bring to a gentle boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Stir in butter and lemon peel.
6.	In a small bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold into lemon mixture.
7.	Pour into an ungreased 1-1/2-qt. baking dish.
8.	Place the dish into a baking sheet with about 1 inch of hot water in it. This will create a water bath which prevents the pudding from over-browning and gives a really creamy texture.
9.	Bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, approximately 35-40mins. Cool for at least 20 minutes before serving.
