Recipe development status

Original development draft; kitchen validation pending.

Kitchen tip 2

Whisk arrowroot into cold liquid first, then stir it into the hot base. Stop heating as soon as it thickens; prolonged boiling can thin it again.

Kitchen tip 3

This is a soft pudding, not lemon curd. Add acidic juice off heat and serve chilled.
