| 1 tablespoon Butter, melted |

Tips and Variations:
- Whip egg whites properly until fluffy with stiff peaks in a grease free bowl to get a best result.
- Make sure that you use hot water baking technique mentioned above for best baking. For safe cooking and prevent chances of getting burned with hot water, always set casserole or baking dish in larger pan and put it in oven before adding water.
- If you like more lemon flavor, then increase quantity of lemon juice to 1/2 cup and use more lemon zest.
- To get ooey-gooey lemony sauce at bottom of the pudding cake, use right sized casserole or baking pan. Also make sure that there is sufficient water in pan all through baking. If water evaporates quickly, add some more water around casserole.
