List of Ingredients




3 eggs
1 cup sugar, divided
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1-1/4 cups milk
1/3 cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 tablespoon grated lemon peel

Recipe



Separate eggs and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. In a large bowl, combine 1/2 cup sugar, flour and salt. Stir in the milk, lemon juice, butter and lemon peel. Beat egg yolks; add to lemon mixture.
