Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Prepare lemons

Zest and juice the lemons. You should have about 1/2 cup of juice and 2 tablespoons of zest.

2
Combine ingredients

In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, zest, sugar, and salt.

3
Add butter

Cut the butter into small cubes and add to the lemon mixture.

4
Prepare eggs

In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole eggs and egg yolks.

5
Combine all ingredients

Add the whisked eggs to the lemon mixture and whisk until well combined.

6
Cook the curd

Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method), ensuring the bottom doesn't touch the water.

7
Stir continuously

Cook the mixture, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula, for about 10 minutes.

8
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.

9
Strain the curd

Remove from heat and strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any lumps or zest.

10
Cool and store

Cover the surface with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming. Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate.
