Ingredients

  • 4 lemons juiced whole zested
  • 1 cup white granulated sugar
  • 125 g butter unsalted
  • 3 eggs whole
  • 1 egg yolk

Method

  • Step 1
    Zest and juice the lemons and set aside.
  • Step 2
    Place butter and sugar in a small mixing bowl and mix with electric beaters until well combined, but not creamed.
  • Step 3
    Keep your mixer running and one at a time add in your eggs, egg yolks, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
  • Step 4
    Once thoroughly combined, transfer your mixture to a medium saucepan and place over a low heat.
  • Step 5
    To avoid your mixture boiling, (which will cause it to separate) stir continuously until your mixture has thickened and you can draw a line in the liquid on your spatula.
  • Step 6
    Transfer your mixture to a container and cover loosely with glad wrap while it cools to prevent it from forming a skin.
