Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Finely grate 1 T. zest from the lemons; squeeze 1/4 c. plus 2 T. juice from the lemons.
Whisk together flour, salt, and 1/2 c. plus 2 T. sugar in a large bowl.
Whisk together yolks, milk, zest and juice in a small bowl; add to flour mixture, whisking just until combined.
Beat egg whites in another bowl with an electric mixer, until they hold soft peaks.
Beat in remaining 1/4 c. sugar, a little at a time; continue to beat until whites hold stiff, glossy peaks.
Whisk about 1/4 of the whites into batter to lighten, then fold in remaining whites gently but thoroughly. The batter will be thin.
Pour into a buttered 1 1/2 qt. ceramic gratin or other shallow baking dish.
Bake in a hot water bath until puffed and golden, 45-50 minutes.
Transfer to a rack. Dust with powdered sugar.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
