• 4 cups Rice Chex cereal
• 2 tablespoons potato starch flour
• ¼ cup sunflower or canola oil or melted ghee
• 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
• 0.12 teaspoon salt

• 4 egg yolks
• 1 cup water
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.33 cup lemon juice
• 6 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon melted ghee or sunflower oil
