How to make Lemon curd.

I shared this recipe in 2020 but it was on the same post as the “Easy Lemon Loaf” cake.

I was trying to find my recipe tonight and realised I had done it a great injustice by not making a stand-alone post for it. So here goes.

Ingredients

  • 4 egg yolks
  • 3 tbsp Butter
  • 1/4 cup  Sugar
  • 1/2 Cup Lemon Juice
  • 2 tbsp Lemon zest

Procedure

  • You need a clean glass or stainless steel bowl, a whisk and a pot of water on fire, coming slowly to a boil.
  • Add all the ingredients together in the bowl and whisk.
  • Place the bowl into pot of water, and whisk continuously till the liquid thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  • Remove from the heat when it is ready, pour into a heat proof container, use a cling wrap to cover the top before putting a lid on.
  • Refrigerate till is completely cooled.

Enjoy
