In a mixing bowl, beat together the sugar, butter and lemon peel until creamy. Beat in the egg yolks. Gradually stir in flour, alternating with the lemon juice and half and half; stir until well blended.

In a medium mixing bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Add salt and cream of tartar; continue beating until the form soft peaks.

Fold egg whites gently into the first mixture, just until incorporated throughout the batter. Pour into a 1 1/2-quart souffle dish. Set souffle dish in a larger pan with about 1 inch of hot water.

"After trying this at home, I have taken it to two pot-luck dinner parties during the past month. Everyone loves it, and wants the recipe! (I served it chilled, rather than hot, topped with whipped cream.)"
