Steps
Read instructions and get ready to cook
Prepare lemons
Zest and juice the lemons. You should have about 1/2 cup of juice and 2 tablespoons of zest.
Combine ingredients
In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, zest, sugar, and salt.
Add butter
Cut the butter into small cubes and add to the lemon mixture.
Prepare eggs
In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole eggs and egg yolks.
Combine all ingredients
Add the whisked eggs to the lemon mixture and whisk until well combined.
Cook the curd
Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method), ensuring the bottom doesn't touch the water.
Stir continuously
Cook the mixture, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula, for about 10 minutes.
Check consistency
The curd is ready when it coats the back of the spoon and leaves a clear path when you run your finger through it.
Strain the curd
Remove from heat and strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any lumps or zest.
Cool and store
Cover the surface with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming. Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate.
