Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (for a gluten-free version, substitute with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar (swap with coconut sugar for a caramel note)
- 2 tablespoons poppy seeds (for extra crunch and a nutty aroma)
- Zest of 2 large lemons (organic preferred for optimal flavor and color)
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (bottled juice works, but freshly squeezed is unrivaled)
- 3 large eggs, separated
- 1 cup whole milk (try almond or oat milk for lactose-free)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (coconut oil is a vegan-friendly alternative)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar (ensures a fluffy meringue layer)
