Lemon curd


A quick and delicious spread for lemon lovers. Tasty on scones, pancakes, in crepes, etc... Wonderful when combined with some fresh blueberries.

Ingredients

4 egg yolks

2/3 cup of sugar

80mL fresh lemon juice

zest of one lemon

pinch of salt

6 tbsp unsalted, softened butter

Preparation

Mix all the ingredients but the butter in a pan. Heat slowly but steadily (can be over a double boiler) and whisk vigorously, so the egg yolks do not cook. Heat like this for 10-15 minutes, until the mixture is thickened and cooked.

Whisk in the butter cut into chunks. Store in a jar in the fridge.
