Ingredients

  • ¼ cup Sugar 50grams
  • 3 tbsp Lemon
  • 50 grams Unsalted Butter
  • Salt a pinch
  • 1 Egg Yolk
  • 1 tsp Lemon Zest

Instructions

  • Grate lemon rind,don’t grate the white part. I just peeled the yellow alone.
  • Take sugar and lemonrind in a blender and make it into a powder.
  • Now take a saucepan, add in butter, lemon sugar, salt in. Beat till it is creamy.
  • Once it is creamy.Add in egg yolk and beat till it is creamy again.
  • Now pour in thelemon juice and mix well.
  • Now heat it on lowto medium heat. It will get thick and thick. You have to keep mixing.
  • Once it is thicklike a batter, remove it and pour it into a bowl.
  • Chill it.
  • Serve.

Notes

  • You have to mix the butter and sugar till it is creamy before adding yolk.
  • When you grate or peel the lemon rind, use only yellow part, don't grate the white part, it will be very bitter
  • Once you add the lemon juice into the mix, it will look curdled, but don't worry it will thicken and get creamy as you heat it.
  • Heat it on low to medium heat stirring continuously.
