Lemon Curd is one of the most popular of current trending foods on earth. It is simple, it’s fast, it tastes yummy. It is enjoyed by millions daily. Lemon Curd is something which I have loved my whole life. They are nice and they look fantastic.
To begin with this particular recipe, we must prepare a few components. You can cook lemon curd using 4 ingredients and 5 steps. Here is how you can achieve that.
The ingredients needed to make Lemon Curd:
- Make ready 4 lemons, washed if waxed
- Make ready 4 eggs
- Get 100 g butter
- Get 350 g caster sugar
With these simple ingredients this curd will come together quickly and easily over the stove top. Making lemon curd—or any citrus curd—is pretty flexible as long as you keep a few general guidelines in mind. For a sweeter or less-sweet lemon curd, you can reduce or increase the sugar. For a thicker, richer lemon curd, add an extra egg yolk.
Instructions 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.
For a richer, more buttery lemon curd, play with the amount of butter. Combine all ingredients in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. If you don't have enough lemon juice, unsweetened Kool-aid lemon ade flavor adds a great flavor to the curd. Store-bought lemon curd doesn't even deserve to share the same name as homemade.
