Ingredients:

2 eggs

1 egg yolk

70 ml fresh lemon juice

120 gram sugar

1 teaspoon grated lemon zest

3-4 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened

Method:

Place metal bowl over saucepan of simmering water, so that bottom of the bowl doesn’t touch water.

Place eggs, egg yolk, lemon juice and sugar into the bowl and whisk everything together until smooth. Stirring constantly, cook for about 10 minutes or until mixture becomes thick.

Remove from the heat and add butter and stir until butter has melted then add lemon zest.
