So easy and perfectly tangy lemon butter. My lemons were super sour so added a bit more sugar.
Does NOT need cornflour, will thicken when cool.

Perfect recipe. Tried it with original recipe, with half lemon/half lime juice and also put into a tart. Absolutely delicious whichever way!

Moderately easy
Tasted fantastic and works well - but I cooked it slowly cos I was nervous about curdling the curd and it took a fair bit longer than 6 minutes.
