Lemon Curd Recipe
- 2 eggs, plus 2 egg yolks
- ¾ cup caster sugar
- 80g (3oz) butter
- zest and juice of 2 lemons
Lemon Curd Instructions
Whisk whole eggs, yolks, and sugar in a saucepan until smooth, then place over low heat. Add the butter, juice, and zest and stir continuously until thickened.
Pour into a sterilized jar. Some people like to strain the curd through a sieve into the jar but I like all the zest and pith in my curd.
Lemon curd lasts 2-3 weeks covered in the fridge.
Makes 1 ½ cups.
