Recipe Introduction


Lemon curd is a traditional spread used on scones, muffins etc. It's also great to spread it on shortbread, or use as a pie filling.
A lighter filling can be made by adding whipping cream to the mixture (twice the whipping cream to lemon curd).





List of Ingredients



• 3/4 cup castor sugar
  
• 1 tablespoon grated lemon rind (or more)
  
• 2 large eggs
  
• 2/3 cup fresh lemon juice
  
• 2 tablespoons butter
  






Instructions



1. Combine sugar, lemon rind and eggs in a saucepan over a medium heat, stiring with a whisk. Cook until sugar dissolves (about 3 minutes).
   
2. Stir in lemon juice and butter. Cook for about 5 minutes. Cover and chill.
   






Final Comments


Cold lemons are easier to grate. Room temperature lemons provide more juice.
