Ingredients:

Serving

4 whole eggs
2 egg yolks
2 cups sugar
2/3 cup lemon juice
2 oz lemon zest
1 cup butter, cut into 18 pieces

Directions:

Combine eggs, yolks and sugar and whisk until smooth.
Add juice and zest to egg mixture and whisk smooth.
Whisk very frequently over very low heat until thickened, approximately 8 minutes, or until mixture coats the back of a spoon.
Remove promptly from heat and stir in butter 2 pieces at a time, allowing each addition to melt before adding the next.
Remove to a clean container and cover by laying a layer of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the curd. When cool, place lid on container and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks. May also be frozen.
