Ingredient Notes
Eggs – I like using large eggs at room temperature. Sugar – Plain granulated is all you need! Lemons – You want fresh lemons for this, it makes all the difference. We are using both the lemon juice and lemon zest from about 4-5 lemons. Salt – Just a pinch of salt for balance. Don’t skip it! Butter – Cut into cubes, I always use unsalted to control the sodium. If you’re using salted butter, skip the salt.
