Gonna make some lemon butter tonight... got some fresh white bread so we can have lemon butter toast tomorrow morning to kick off the weekend. Mmmm, heavenly!

I'd bake some bread in the morning, but work has been so crazy and I'm so tired, I don't know if I have the energy!

Ingredients
* 1/4 cup white sugar
* 1 tablespoon cornstarch
* 1/4 teaspoon grated lemon zest
* 1/2 cup water
* 1 tablespoon lemon juice
* 2 teaspoons butter
* pinch salt

Directions
1. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar, cornstarch, and lemon zest. Stir in water and lemon juice, and continue stirring. After the mixture thickens and bubbles, continue to heat and stir for another two minutes.
2. Remove the sauce from the heat and stir in the butter. Serve warm.

It doesn't look like it would make much, would it? Wonder if I should double the recipe...
