- 1: In a small bowl beat the egg until foamy.
- 2: Add the buttermilk and vanilla and blend well.

- 4: Add the lemon juice all at once and blend into mixture. Stir, do not beat, (You want the mixture smooth an creamy without added air.
- 5: The mixture will combine into a pasty lump. Scoop it out of the bowl with a spatula and spread on a floured surface.
