Main Ingredients
3
lemons, zested and juiced
1
cup
sugar
4
large eggs
½
cup
unsalted butter, cubed
Instructions
In a saucepan, combine lemon zest, lemon juice, and sugar. Cook over medium heat until sugar dissolves.
In a bowl, whisk the eggs. Slowly add the lemon mixture to the eggs, whisking constantly.
Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until thickened.
Remove from heat and stir in the butter until melted. Strain the curd through a sieve into a bowl.
Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the curd to prevent a skin from forming. Chill in the refrigerator.
