Golden Lemon Curd Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 large egg
• 1 lemon (for juice and zest)
• 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Lemon:
   • Zest the lemon to get about 1 tablespoon of lemon zest.
   • Juice the lemon to get about 1/4 cup of fresh lemon juice.
2. Mix Ingredients:
   • In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg and granulated sugar until well combined.
   • Add the lemon zest and lemon juice to the egg mixture and whisk until smooth.
3. Cook the Mixture:
   • Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) or on a very low heat on the stove. Make sure the bottom of the bowl doesn’t touch the water.
   • Stir constantly with a wooden spoon or heatproof spatula until the mixture thickens and reaches a custard-like consistency. This usually takes about 10-15 minutes. The curd is ready when it coats the back of the spoon.
4. Finish the Curd:
   • Remove the bowl from heat.
   • Stir in the unsalted butter until fully melted and incorporated.
5. Cool and Store:
   • Let the lemon curd cool to room temperature.
   • Transfer to a clean jar or airtight container and refrigerate. It will keep for up to 1-2 weeks in the fridge.

Serving Suggestions:

• Spread on toast or scones.
• Use as a filling for cakes or pastries.
• Swirl into yogurt or ice cream for a zesty twist.

Enjoy the creamy, tangy goodness of this golden lemon curd!
