1 tablespoon butter
 
Directions:

Put sugar, egg yolks, flour, lemon rind and vanilla in a saucepan and mix well. Scald the milk and pour over mixture, beating constantly with electric hand  mixer. Continue cooking on low heat stirring with a wooden spoon until mixture  reaches the boiling state. Continue to cook another 4 minutes stirring   constantly.
