Rinse the clay pot with water. Separate the eggs. Beat the egg yolks with the sugar and vanilla sugar until frothy, then add the lemon zest. Mix the flour with the cornstarch and baking powder and gradually stir into the egg foam. Now add a few more tablespoons of milk if needed. Beat the egg whites with the salt until stiff peaks form and lightly fold into the batter with a whisk. Pour into the clay pot, close the lid, and place crosswise on the lowest shelf of a cold oven. Bake at 200°C for about 1 hour. Once the pudding has cooled slightly, turn it out onto a platter. Cut into slices, warm or cold. Grandma served it with all kinds of compote and maybe chocolate sauce.
