Critical Success Points

  • Browning the butter for flavor
  • Beating eggs and sugar to the ribbon stage
  • Chilling the batter for at least 1 hour

  • Baking at the correct temperature and time to achieve the hump

Safety Warnings

  • Hot butter can splatter; keep a lid or splatter guard nearby.
  • Handle the hot oven and baking pan with oven mitts.
  • When zesting lemon, use a fine grater and watch your fingers.
