- 1/4 c lemon juice
- 1 c milk
- 1/4 tsp salt

The original recipe called for flour but I decided to make it gluten free since my mom has celiacs. If you want the top to be more cake-like, then exchange the cornstarch with flour and don't put in the baking powder. If you want the top to be more meringue-like, then reduce the cornstarch to 1 tablespoon. I also doubled the recipe and used a 9x13 dish.
