Steps:
- Beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer, about 2 minute Slowly add the eggs and yolks. Beat for 1 minute Mix in the lemon juice. The mixture will LOOK curdled, but it will smooth out as the butter melts in the cooking process.
- Cook the mixture over low heat in a heavy-bottomed saucepan until it looks smooth. I find it helpful to use a wisk. The mixture will smooth out as the butter melts and change from cloudy to clear.
- Increase the heat to medium and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens. The entire process should take about 15 minutes.
- Your lemon curd is ready when it leaves a path on the back of a spoon. If you are super careful (I'm not) you can double check readiness by temperature. It should read 170°F on a thermometer. Don't let the mixture boil.
- Immeadiately transfer to a cool bowl and cool.
