Here’s a recipe to tantalise your tastebuds!

Over the past few weeks I have been making delicious foods using my juicy lemons from home. Firstly, I made Lemon Curd and had a few teachers sample it on a cracker and the feedback was that it tasted really yummy and they wanted more! Then I decided to use my curd in a recipe called, Lemon Curd Loaf Cake (except I made cupcakes). The cakes were amazing and made my tastebuds float!

Making lemon curd is really easy, just follow my simple instructions to achieve a delicious spread! I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do!

Lemon Curd

Recipe by Riley (4T)

Cuisine: Something sweet / Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients

• 4 large egg yolks
• ⅔ cup (134g) granulated sugar
• 1 tbsp lemon zest (about 1 lemon)
• ⅓ cup (80ml) fresh lemon juice (about 3 lemons)
• ⅛ tsp salt
• 6 tbsp (86g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature

Directions

1. Prepare your double boiler (or use your DIY double boiler method that is simply place a small heatproof glass bowl over a saucepan of water.)
2. Place eggs yolks, sugar, salt, lemon zest and juice into you glass bowl. Whisk together constantly for about 10 minutes or until it thickens.
3. Remove from the heat. Cut butter into small pieces and whisk together.
4. Poor the curd into a warm sterilised jar. When it has cooled, place in the fridge for up to 10 days.

Notes

My important tip: When making this curd be sure not to use metal bowls or metal whisks as your curd may take on a metal flavour!
