Chef's Tip
Ensure that the bowl and whisk are completely grease-free before beating the egg whites. Any fat could prevent the whites from reaching the desired volume.
Chef's Tip
Use a large metal spoon for folding to keep the mixture airy; a heavy hand will result in a denser, less delicate texture.
Chef's Tip
By gently simmering the lemon juice and zest with the butter, you amplify the lemon flavor, adding depth to the dish.
Bon appétit!
