| 1. Slowly heat the milk, 2 t of the sugar, and the lemon zest in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. | 2. Meanwhile, whisk the remaining sugar, egg yolks, egg, and salt until thick but still golden, 2 to 3 minute. | 3. Sift the flour, a little at a time, whisking briskly to mix thoroughly. | 4. Whisk 1/2 c of the boiling milk mixture, 2 T at a time, into the egg mixture; then pour the egg mixture into the remaining milk mixture (this is a technique known as tempering). | 5. Cook over medium-high heat, until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. | 6. As it begins to reach a boil and look lumpy, whisk vigorously to smooth it. | 7. When the cream is as thick as mayonnaise, reduce the heat and whisk or stir for another minute. | 8. Remove from the heat and discard the lemon zest. | 9. Beat in the vanilla and then the butter, 1 T at a time. | 10. Cool the cream quickly by placing the pan in a bowl of cold water or by spreading the cream out on 2 baking sheets. | 11. Smear a little butter on top and cover tightly with plastic wrap so cream doesn't get a skin. | 12. Cool completely in refrigerator. | 13. You may want to thin it with a couple of T of milk before using it. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
