Instructions
Use a fine grater to zest one of the lemons and place the zest into a small saucepan.
Squeeze the lemon juice from the lemons into the pan and add the egg yolks, sugar, cayenne pepper powder, and salt.
Place the pan over low heat and stir continuously for around 15 minutes until the mixture starts to thicken.
Remove from the heat and stir in the butter until melted.
Pour the mix into a jar and allow it to set in the refrigerator.
Use up within 10 days. Enjoy!
Notes
Feel free to adjust the amount of cayenne used up or down, depending on your heat tolerance.
