Critical Success Points

  • Cream the butter properly to avoid a crumbly dough.
  • Maintain the syrup temperature (121°C) for a stable Italian meringue.
  • Cool the lemon cream before adding the butter to prevent separation.

Safety Warnings

  • The 121°C syrup is very hot; handle with care to avoid burns.
  • Use kitchen gloves when handling the hot pan.
  • Do not let the sugar burn, it creates irritating fumes.
