  • 1 cup caster sugar
  • 4 eggs, lightly beaten
  • finely grated rind and juice of 2 lemons (approx 2/3 cup lemon juice)

Method:

Combine butter and sugar in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on High for 2 minutes and stir well.

Whisk eggs, lemon juice and rind in a separate bowl until combined.

Quickly whisk egg mixture into the hot butter to combine.

Microwave on High for 4 minutes until thick, whisking well at 1 minute intervals. Cool and refrigerate until required.

Hints:
