Lemon Curd
- Quantity
- About 16 oz
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (probably 2-3 lemons)
- 2 tsp finely grated lemon zest
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 3 eggs
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter
Steps
- In a saucepan, boil water. Place a heat-proof mixing bowl over the water, and whisk together lemon juice, zest, sugar, and eggs.
- Stir in butter and cook over moderately low heat, whisking frequently, until curd is thick enough to hold marks of the whisk and bubbles appear on the surface, about 6 minutes.
- Chill for at least an hour before using.
