Servings: 2/3 cup (Scaled)

Ingredients:
2 whole eggs
2 2/3 or 5 teaspoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons water
4 or 7 tablespoons butter
1/3 teaspoon salt
cayenne pepper to taste

Directions:
Place eggs, lemon juice, and water in a mixing bowl and whip with a fork until thoroughly blended and pale yellow.In a heavy nonstick coated skillet melt the butter over low heat. Add egg mixture slowly, stirring continuously until sauce has thickened. Do not overcook. Before serving add the salt and cayenne pepper. Season to taste.

**This recipe is really easy. I only put a little over 2 teaspoons of lemon juice in mine and it still had a good lemony flavor. I did 6 tablespoons of butter. I also didn't add salt at the end because I used salted butter. The cayenne pepper is optional but I like the added flavor!

** this scale serves 2 people perfectly!
