Equipment
heat proof bowl
Ingredients
4
egg yolks
½
cup
raw cane sugar
1
teaspoon
lemon zest
(from one lemon)
½
cup
freshly squeezed lemon juice
(2 or 3 lemons)
⅛
teaspoon
fine sea salt
6
tablespoons
butter
cut into chunks
Instructions
Whisk the egg yolks, sugar, lemon zest, juice, and salt in a heat-proof glass bowl.
Place the bowl over a saucepan of about a cup of boiling water. Continue whisking until cooked and thickened, about 10 minutes.
Remove from heat. Add the butter chunks immediately, and they should melt quickly.
Stir the lemon curd once more after the butter has melted completely.
Place plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent a skin from forming as it cools. Store in refrigerator.
