👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1--- For the Lemon Curd ---
2. 2To make the lemon curd, add the lemon juice, large egg yolks, granulated white sugar, salt and lemon zest to a medium saucepan or pot. Whisk everything together.
3. 3Heat the lemon mixture over medium-low heat for 20-25 minutes, whisking frequently, until thick. It should coat the back of a spoon once thick enough.
4. 4Remove it from the heat and slowly whisk in the cold, cubbed butter.
5. 5Once all of the butter is melted in, transfer the curd to a heatproof, small bowl. Place plastic wrap on top of the curd, so it doesn't form a skin, and allow it to cool completely in the fridge.
6. 6Store leftovers in an airtight glass jar in the fridge for up to two weeks.
