Yield 1-1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 large egg yolks
Zest of 2 lemons
Freshly squeezed juice of 4 lemons
12 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold, cut into pieces

Steps:

  • Whisk together yolks, zest, juice, and sugar in a small saucepan. Set over medium heat, and stir constantly with a wooden spoon. Cook until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of the wooden spoon, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove pan from heat. Add butter, 1 piece at a time, stirring until incorporated. Pass through a fine mesh sieve into medium bowl. Stirring frequently, let stand until cool. Place a sheet of plastic wrap directly on surface of curd to prevent skin from forming; wrap tightly. Store refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
