Lemon Curd

 

Lemon Curd

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup sugar

  • 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice

  • 2 large eggs

  • 2 egg yolks

  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch

  • 3/4 stick unsalted butter, cold and cubed

Instructions

  1. In a medium heavy based saucepan, whisk the sugar, lemon juice, eggs, egg yolks and cornstarch together until smooth. Place over low heat.

  2. Add the butter 3-4 cubes at a time, stirring until each has melted before adding more.

  3. Continue stirring (making sure to get into the corners of the pan, for around 6 minutes more or until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon without running.

  4. Pour into a glass bowl or jar. Allow to cool for at least 15 minutes before chilling in the fridge for at least 45 minutes more. 

Notes

Store in a glass bowl with plastic wrap pressed to the surface of the curd to prevent a skin from forming. Will keep in the fridge for up to 10 days.
