Ingredients

  • 1 cup lemon juice fresh squeezed

  • 6 egg yolks
  • 10 tablespoons of butter cut into tablespoons

Instructions

  • Mix lemon juice and sugar in a saucepan, heat until completely melted and sugar is dissolved.
  • Add butter and heat until completely melted.
  • Slowly pour that mixture into whisked egg yolks in a bowl, whisking continuously until everything is well combined.
  • Return mixture to stove and heat until it's thick and coats a back of a spoon.

Notes

If there are any lumps in the final lemon curd, press it through a fine strainer.
