4 tbsp all purpose flour |
3/4 c butter (room temp) |
1 c sugar |
1 tsp vanilla |
1 tbsp finely grated lemon zest (optional) |

1. This is definitely a French recipe, as it starts off with a classic roux.
2. Mix flour and milk in a small sauce pan with a wisk, until smooth.
3. Cook over medium heat, until it forms a paste (roux).
4. Don't let it brown.
5. Stir it a lot to prevent it from sticking.

7. Let this cool for about 7 minutes, until its just mildly warm.
8. In your mixing bowl, beat sugar and butter until fluffy.
9. Add the cooled flour mixture to the sugar mixture.
