Try another of our popular breakfast offerings. Make your very own mouth-watering lemon curd, breakfast time will never be the same again!
Combine the following ingredients using a large heatproof bowl
Ingredients
425g white sugar
300g unsalted butter
7 lemons (for zest)
12 lemons (for juice)
Method
Slowly melt butter with above ingredients over a saucepan of boiling water (bain marie), ensuring the bowl does not touch the top of the water. Stir occasionally until everything has dissolved and melted.
Lightly whisk: 6 eggs and 6 egg yolks together
Slowly pour and whisk the egg mixture into the lemon mix in the bain marie. When all the egg mix has been added, cook for around 13 minutes or so, whisking occasionally until the lemon mixture is creamy and thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Finally, remove from the heat, pour through a sieve into a plastic container, stirring occasionally as it cools. Once the mix has cooled completely, cover and store in fridge.
Your lemon curd is now ready to accompany your toast, croissants or bread rolls – fabulous to eat at any time of the day.
