Calories: 339
Ingredients
- 5 Medium Eggs
- 3.5 oz Unsalted Butter (100g)
- 6 tablespoons Lemon Juice , Freshly Squeezed (90ml)
- 2.8 oz Caster Sugar (80g)
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl whisk the eggs, freshly squeezed lemon juice and sugar until combined.
- Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water. Throw in the butter and whisk constantly until it has thickened. This will take about 10 minutes (on low-medium heat).
- Cover the surface of the curd with cling film, let it cool down a bit before transferring to the fridge. Once chilled completely, pour/spoon into a glass jar and cover with a lid. Keep in the fridge.
Notes
The curd will continue to thicken in the fridge so once it has yogurt-like consistency remove it from the heat (see Step 2).
