1 1/2 cups sugar
6 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
3 large egg yolks, well beaten
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Sift sugar, cornstarch, and salt into a medium saucepan. Gradually blend in 1/2 cup cold water and lemon juice. Place saucepan over medium-low heat, and whisk until smooth.
