Empanada Filling (Lemon)

Empanada Filling (Lemon)

1 ½ Cup sugar
3 Tbl. cornstarch
3 Tablespoons flour
1 ½ Cups water
3 eggs
2 Tablespoons butter
½ tsp. lemon peel
½ Cups lemon juice
Cream sugar, cornstarch and flour, sugar, butter, and eggs. Stir in water and cook over medium high heat until sugar dissolves and is thickened (12 minutes?). [No need to cook some of the ingredients and then temper the eggs by adding little by little to the thickened mixture]. Bring to gentle boil for 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in lemon juice and lemon peel. You may use as a pudding, a sweet loaf topping, tart filling, or empanadas. For empanadas, bake for 10-15 minutes until dough is golden brown.
