Directions
- Weigh all the ingredients. Place the rack in the center of the oven and preheat it to 200 °C.
- Whip the cream with the lemon juice and zest, adding the sugar gradually until it thickens. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Separate the egg whites and yolks. Beat the egg whites in a clean bowl with salt, 100g of sugar, and vanilla sugar until stiff peaks form, then gradually add the yolks. ≈ 4 min
- Mix the flour and cornstarch together, then gently fold them into the mixture using a whisk. ≈ 4 min
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides. Spread the dough evenly and bake for about 10 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Immediately roll the biscuit with its paper, then unroll it. Cover it with a damp, cool cloth and let it cool.
- Spread the biscuit with lemon cream and roll it up. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, then refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Cut into 2 cm thick slices and serve. ≈ 8 min
