I never want to see Sta. and Bldg. ever again.

Grate rind of 1 lemon into saucepan, add juice of lemon, about 8g sugar (3 tsp seems right), 30g butter. Warm until all dissolved. Add one egg and beat well over very low heat until thickens (takes a few minutes). Keep beating for 30 seconds or so after the mixture has thickened, remove from heat and keep beating a little longer. Put into prepared jar. Amount above makes one jar.

My grandmother's recipe was for 2 lemons, 60g butter, 30g sugar, 2 eggs. I did half, and thought that there wasn't quite enough sugar. Perhaps the lemon I used was particularly juicy.

Tastes damn good though.
