Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350F with rack in middle. Butter a 1 1/2-qt gratin or other shallow baking dish.

Finely grate 2 tsp zest from 1 orange, then squeeze 1/2 cup juice from oranges.

Whisk together sugar, flour, and salt in a large bowl.

Whisk together yolks, milk, butter, zest, orange juice, and lemon juice in a small bowl and add to flour mixture, whisking until just combined.

Beat egg whites in another large bowl with an electric mixer until they hold soft peaks. Stir about one fourth of whites into batter to lighten, then fold in remaining whites gently but thoroughly (batter will be thin).

Pour into baking dish and bake in a hot water bath until puffed and golden, 40 to 45 minutes. Transfer to a rack.

Serve warm or at room temperature.
