• Remove flour and butter mixture from food processor and place in large bowl. Mix whipping cream, eggs vanilla and lemon zest together in separate bowl. Add to flour mixture and lightly mix together (sometimes more cream needs to be added). Try not to overmix. At the very end of this mixing process before it is mixed together, add the currents.
