Step 1
In a large Pyrex measuring cup, the 4 cup capacity ones are the best, combine the sugar, lemon juice and lemon zest.
Step 2
Now, again, I use salted butter. If you want to add another layer of taste, feel free to toss just a pinch of salt into the mix now. We all know how I feel about salt in icings, such as my buttercream icing recipe. The salt is a necessity to cut the sugar taste and add some complexity past that overwhelming sweet rush. Just the tiniest pinch, depending on how salty your butter is.
Step 3
Add in the butter then microwave on high for 45 seconds.
Step 4
Take out the measuring cup and whisk until smooth, making sure there are no lumps.
Step 5
Let it sit for a few minutes then pour it over your creation.
