I make this sauce right in a casserole dish, add in ~1 pound of soul and bake at 350 ~20 minutes.

If I am using it with chicken I set it aside and pour it over the chicken after I bake the chicken.

1 stick ( 8 Tablespoons ) butter
1 teaspoon basil
2 medium lemons
1 teaspoon sugar
1 Tablespoon flour
1 Tablespoon capers ( optional )
grate the yellow part of the lemon peel and place in a bowl

Add:
the juice from the two lemons
the butter and basil
microwave 1 minute or long enough to melt the butter

** make sure you let the butter mix cool before adding flour or it will separate**
add in sugar and flour and stir until no lumps remain and color is consistent.
add in capers

To grate the lemon peel I just use a hand held kitchen grater and rub the lemon across it until I get as much of the lemon grating as is practical. You only want the yellow part of the skin, the white part is very bitter. It works out to ~ 1/2-1 tsp per lemon.
