LEMON ORANGE FILLING

Category: Frostings/Glazes/Fillings/Toppings

3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup flour
1/3 cup water
1 egg
1 egg yolk
3 tbsp butter
2 tbsp lemon and orange juices

Combine sugar and flour in a saucepan. Add water gradually, stirring constantly. Slightly beat the egg and yolk, and add with butter, lemon juice, and orange juice to the saucepan. Mix well. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture comes to a boil and is thickened - about 7 minutes. Cool before spreading on cake.

NOTE: "This is a creamy citrus filling. If you want a stronger flavor, use 1 tbsp lemon juice, 3 tbsp orange juice, and 1 tsp grated orange rind."
