8 servings
- 3 large eggs
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup fresh lemon juice (from about 3–4 lemons)
Ingredient noteFruit juice contains far less fiber than whole fruit, so the lemon juice used here leaves little residue. If you prefer to always avoid lemon juice, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 1 tbsp lemon zest (from about 2 lemons)
Ingredient noteLow residue diets limit citrus peel because it adds fiber and residue. The small amount of lemon zest here contributes very little, so it is likely low residue. If you prefer to always avoid lemon peel, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
Ingredient noteButter is almost all fat and has no fiber, so the small amount here (about 1 1/2 teaspoons per serving) leaves very little residue. If you prefer to always avoid butter, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ¼ tsp fine salt
Instructions

Whisk the eggs, sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt together in the heatproof bowl until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
