Ingredients:

  • 2 tsp finely grated lemon zest
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 6 tbsp butter

Directions:

  1. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan whisk together lemon juice, zest, sugar and eggs.
  2. Stir in butter and cook over medium-low heat whisking vigorously and continuously until the curd is thick enough to hold a ripple mark when the whisk is lifted from the curd and the first bubbles appear on the surface (this should take about 6-7 minutes).
  3. Transfer to a bowl then cover the curd using plastic wrap spread directly over the curd.
  4. Chill for a minimum of 2 hours before using or up to 1 week.
