Ingredients

Directions

  1. Ensure all eggs and butter are at room temperature to prevent curdling.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk the 3 eggs until they are uniform in color and slightly frothy.
  3. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (bain-marie), ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
  4. Whisk constantly and gently add the softened butter to the eggs in small increments, allowing each addition to melt and incorporate before adding more.
  5. Continue whisking over low heat until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon, about 10-15 minutes.
  6. Remove the bowl from the heat and immediately stir in the vanilla essence and finely grated lemon zest.
  7. Serve warm over fruit, pancakes, or as a dip for bread.
