Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer, about 2 minute Slowly add the eggs and yolks. Beat for 1 minute Mix in the lemon juice. The mixture will LOOK curdled, but it will smooth out as the butter melts in the cooking process.
  2. Cook the mixture over low heat in a heavy-bottomed saucepan until it looks smooth. I find it helpful to use a wisk. The mixture will smooth out as the butter melts and change from cloudy to clear.
  3. Increase the heat to medium and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens. The entire process should take about 15 minutes.
  4. Your lemon curd is ready when it leaves a path on the back of a spoon. If you are super careful (I'm not) you can double check readiness by temperature. It should read 170°F on a thermometer. Don't let the mixture boil.
  5. Immeadiately transfer to a cool bowl and cool.
