Heat the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add remaining 1 teaspoon butter; heat until foaming. Pour in beaten eggs; cook for 30 seconds. Lift omelet edges so uncooked egg runs under cooked edges and comes into contact with the hot skillet. Shake and tilt the skillet to move uncooked egg. Repeat until top is set, but still moist and soft, about 2 minutes.

Sybil's Old Fashioned Lemon Layer Cake
This is one of my grandmother's recipes, a Southern classic. It is similar to a doberge--six thin layers with a tart lemon filling. I usually need 3 large fresh lemons for this recipe to produce the zest and juice.
