Directions

  1. Weigh all the ingredients. Place the rack in the center of the oven and preheat it to 200 °C.
  2. Whip the cream with the lemon juice and zest, adding the sugar gradually until it thickens. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  3. 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
  4. Mix the flour and cornstarch together, then gently fold them into the mixture using a whisk. ≈ 4 min
  5. 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.
  6. Immediately roll the biscuit with its paper, then unroll it. Cover it with a damp, cool cloth and let it cool.
  7. Spread the biscuit with lemon cream and roll it up. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, then refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  8. Cut into 2 cm thick slices and serve. ≈ 8 min
