    Prep Time:       Cook Time:       Total Time:  

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 egg yolks
Pinch salt
1 1/2 - 2 cup confectioners sugar
Grated zest and juice from 1 lemon

Cream butter until smooth; add yolks, one at a time, beating after each addition. Add salt, zest and juice and a little of the sugar, beat smooth, then gradually beat in additional sugar until Buttercream reaches spreading consistency. If it starts to look curdled, add a little more sugar and beat on high speed. Chill to stiffen if too soft to spread. Store frosted cake in the refrigerator.
