Tips:
1. Be careful not to use force when rubbing lemon zest, the white substance inside the epidermis is not needed;
2. When adding egg liquid to the butter, pay attention to the complete fusion before adding the next egg liquid to avoid oil-water separation;
3. When I made it, I added a layer of greased paper to the inside of the mold, mainly for the convenience of demoulding and simple subsequent cleaning, and it can also be poured directly into the mold without greased paper;
