Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 35
  2. Coat a 15 x 10-inch jelly-roll pan with cooking spray; line bottom with wax paper. Coat wax paper with cooking spray; dust with 2 teaspoons flour.
  3. Beat egg whites at high speed of a mixer until foamy. Gradually add 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff peaks form.
  4. Beat egg yolks in a large bowl at high speed of a mixer for 4 minutes. Gradually add 1/4 cup granulated sugar, beating until thick and pale (about 2 minutes). Beat in lemon rind, juice, and oil. Gently fold egg white mixture into egg yolk mixture.
