Ingredients
The following ingredients have 1 Servings
- 5 egg yolks
- 1 cup white sugar
- 4 lemons (zest and juice)
- ½ cup butter (cut into 9 pieces)
Instruction
- Add 2 inches of water to the bottom of a double boiler. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to medium
- In the top pot of the double boiler add egg yolks and sugar and whisk for 1 minute. Combine ⅓ cup of lemon juice (add water if necessary) and zest to egg yolk mixture and whisk till smooth
- Continue whisking mixture over the simmering water for 8-15 minutes. The longer you ‘cook’ the egg mixture, the thicker it will be. I cooked mine for 15 minutes
- Remove from heat and stir in butter 1 piece at a time
- Pour into a clean jar and cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface
- Try your best not to eat it all at once!
