3 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons unsalted butter

  1. Step 1

    With a vegetable peeler remove 2 strips zest from orange (each about 3 by 1/2 inch) and mince.

    Squeeze enough juice from orange to measure 1/2 cup and in a small heavy saucepan simmer orange juice until reduced to 1/4 cup.

    Step 3

    Remove pan from heat and add sugar and butter to orange juice, whisking until butter is melted. Whisk in egg until combined well and cook mixture over moderately low heat, whisking, until thick enough to hold marks of whisk and first bubble appears on surface, 3 to 5 minutes.
