To get started with this particular recipe, we have to prepare a few ingredients. You can have lemon curd using 4 ingredients and 5 steps. Here is how you cook that.
The ingredients needed to make Lemon Curd:
- Get 4 lemons, washed if waxed
- Get 4 eggs
- Make ready 100 g butter
- Make ready 350 g caster sugar
Lemon curd isn't hard to make from scratch! The reward is a spread that's smooth, creamy, sweet, and tart. Lemon curd is great in cakes or pies, spread on scones, or licked right off the spoon. There's nothing quite like a simple, zesty, homemade lemon curd.
Steps to make Lemon Curd:
- Carefully grate just the yellow zest from the lemons, avoiding the white pith. Cut the lemons in half and squeeze the juice.
- Add the lemon zest, juice, sugar, butter and eggs to a heatproof bowl or to a large, heavy-based pan.
- Place the bowl on top of a simmering pan or boiling water, or place the pan on a low heat, gently whisking as it the butter melts and sugar dissolves.
- When the butter has melted and there's a little steam coming from the mixture, exchange the whisk for a wooden spoon. Keep stirring as the mixture slowly thickens. It takes a while, but the curd is ready when it sits on a plate and doesn't run. If you want to use the lemon curd as a cake filling, cook it for a little long as it will need to be stiff.
- Sieve the curd into a clean bowl, then transfer to clean jars. Store in the fridge. Spread on toast or pancakes or use as a filling with whipped cream for a Victoria sponge cake. We also love it as a dessert, stirred through Greek yogurt.
Perfect on toast, scones, hot buttered crumpets or rippled through ice cream. Fruit curd is a dessert spread and topping usually made with citrus fruit, such as lemon, lime, orange, or tangerine. Other flavor variations include passion fruit, mango, and berries such as raspberries, cranberries or blackberries. I haven't made Lemon Curd yet, but I'm puzzled by comments about the cooked eggs. To keep the eggs from cooking, just mix the butter and sugar together, creaming them just as you would when.
