This is one of my favorite sweet treats in the whole wide world - Old Fashioned Lemon Sauce. Although simple in ingredients, it adds a decadent touch to any dessert whether it be gingerbread cake, New York cheesecake, or a freshly baked currant scone. Enjoy!Old Fashioned Lemon Sauce
1/2 cup butter, salted
1 cup sugar
3 T freshly squeezed lemon juice
zest of one lemon
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/4 cup water mixed with 1 T cornstarch
Mix all over heat in small saucepan. Slowly bring to low boil and cook until thickened. Pour through a strainer and let cool to room temperature. Serve warm over gingerbread cake or store in your refrigerator up to 1 week. I top my Lemon Cheesecake with a layer of this wonderfully splendid sauce and then drizzle each serving with just a little bit more. When served warm with gingerbread cake, the cake soaks up the warm sauce so that every bite of cake is saturated with lemony bliss .

Mine smells like baked beans with bacon in the oven. Another wonderful smell. Will soon smell like sugar cookies.
