3 large Lemons
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1 1/2 cups Sugar

Bake at 350-degrees for 10 minutes. Cool & freeze for 30 minutes. Filling: In a double boiler, add 1/2 cup butter, the grated rind of one (1) lemon, the juice of three (3) lemons, salt and sugar. Cook until butter is melted. In a large bowl, whisk eggs and egg yolks together, adding a little hot lemon mix, whisking constantly so eggs do not scramble.
