1.           If using a pre-made crust, thaw before using.

2.            Beat egg whites in a large mixer bowl until stiff peaks form but not dry, set aside.

3.            Beat egg yolks, add the lemon juice and milk and beat until well incorporated. Add sugar, flour and salt; beat until smooth.

4.            Fold lemon mixture into egg whites, making sure that there are no lumps of egg white left in batter or white streaks.
