Ingredients
- 4 lemons, zest and juice of all 4
- 4 large eggs
- 225 g butter (a dairy free hard margarine or block if necessary)
- 320 g caster sugar
Instructions
- Crack your eggs into a small/medium saucepan. Off the heat, whisk them together.
- Add the rest of your ingredients and pop it on a medium heat. Whisk your mixture, allowing the butter to melt and then continue to mix for a further 10 minutes (approx) until the lemon curd starts to thicken slightly. (Don't let it boil)
- Leave to cool completely before popping it into a glass jars to thicken further in the fridge.
- This makes about 2 jam jars worth of curd and will last for a few weeks in the fridge. Use it in baking recipes or spread it on toast. Enjoy!
Notes
- If you want to thicken up the lemon curd even further you can simply add a little cornflour when you add the rest of the ingredients, about 2 tsp would be perfect.
