Scale
- 3 tablespoons lemon zest (from about three large lemons)

- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 8 tablespoons butter
- 3 large eggs (lightly beaten)

- Melt the butter in the microwave for about 30 seconds until slightly softened.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon zest, lemon juice, sugar, melted butter, and lightly beaten eggs until well combined.

- Pour the mixture through a metal sieve into another container to remove any lumps.
