Ingredients

  • 50g butter

  • 100g caster sugar

  • grated zest and juice of 2 lemons

  • 2 organic eggs and 1 organic egg yolk whisked (keep white aside for meringue

Method

  1. Melt the butter on a very low heat. Add the caster sugar, lemon zest and juice and then add the whisked eggs.

  2. Stir carefully over a gentle heat with a straight ended wooden spatula until the mixture coats the back of it. Remove from the heat and pour into a bowl or sterilized jar (it will thicken further as it cools.)

  3. Cover when cold and refrigerate.
