Aunt Mary's Lemon Souffle

Sister Beth Moriarty
Beth found this recipe in a church recipe book. It was Mrs. Mary Mac Isaac’s, Beth’s Aunt and also her Godmother. Beth has cut back on the sugar and has made it a delightful tangy dessert that makes you want more! Beth has made this dessert in Peru, the Island, and now in Regina. Thanks Aunt Mary and Beth.
