1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons finely grated lemon zest
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups sugar
6 egg whites

Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
2. Combine the lemon juice, lemon zest, eggs and 1 cup of the sugar in a stainless steel bowl.
3. place the bowl on top of a pan of simmering water. Whisk constantly until the mixture thickens slightly, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
4. In the bowl of an electric mixer, whisk the 6 egg whites and cream of tartar until the mixture is foamy, about 1 minute. Increase the speed to high and gradually add the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar. Continue whisking until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes.
5. Using a rubber spatula, carefully fold the whipped egg whites into the lemon mixture, one third at a time.
5. Spoon the batter into 8 individual baking dishes or ramekins. Bake the souffles for about 12 minutes, or until they are tall and golden brown. They should be pudding-like and a little creamy in the center. Serve immediately.
