Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
5 Whole eggs
5 Egg yolks
2 c Sugar
1 c Fresh lemon juice
2 Lemons, grated zest only
8 tb Sweet butter

COMBINE THE EGGS, EGG YOLKS and sugar in a mixing bowl
and beat until smooth. Add the lemon juice and lemon
zest and mix. Place the bowl over a pot of boiling
water or in the top of a double boiler and stir
vigorously with a wooden spoon until the mixture
thickens. This mixture will not curdle, so don’t worry
about overcooking it a little. Remove the bowl from
the boiling water and stir in the butter until melted.
Refrigerated, this will keep for up to 3 months.
