Directions:
- Juice the lemons and grate the rind from two of them.
- In another bowl, beat together sugar and eggs until fluffy; add the lemon juice.
- Pour the lemon mixture into a saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly.
- Gradually add the butter, 1 tablespoon at a time. When butter is melted, raise the heat to medium, continuing to stir until mixture is thickened. Stir in the zest.
- Store in the refrigerator. Use as filling or frosting, as well as with scones.
- Variations: substitute lime or orange juice and zest for the lemon.
