Yield Makes 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 large egg yolks
Grated zest of 1 lemon
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
6 tablespoons sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold, cut into pieces

Steps:

  • Combine yolks, lemon zest, lemon juice, and sugar in a small saucepan. Whisk to combine. Set over medium heat, and stir constantly with a wooden spoon, making sure to stir sides and bottom of pan. Cook until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of the wooden spoon, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Remove saucepan from heat. Add butter, one piece at a time, stirring with the wooden spoon until mixture is smooth.
  • Transfer mixture to a medium bowl. Place a sheet of plastic wrap directly on surface to prevent a skin from forming; wrap tightly. Let cool; refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour. Store, refrigerated in an airtight container, up to 2 days.
