Our family recipe

As usual, the ingredients and directions below are more of a rough guide than a rigid plan. Use your judgement and, as my wife would say, "cook with your heart" (especially when it comes to garlic, then you always add "two hearts" worth).

And by the way, remember to tap each ingredient and direction to cross it off the list!

Ingredients

2 eggs
2 egg yolks
3/4 cup (165g) caster sugar
1/3 cup (80g) chilled Devondale Unsalted Butter
Zest and juice of 2 lemons

Directions

Whisk whole eggs, yolks and sugar in a saucepan until smooth, then place pan over a low heat.
Add the butter, juice and zest and whisk continuously until thickened.
Strain through a sieve into a sterilised jar.
Lemon curd keeps, covered, in the fridge for 2 weeks.
