  • About

Lemon curd dates back to the early 1800s, traditionally served with toast, scones or as a filling for small tarts. We use curd as a layer within entremets for a different texture and it also adds a wonderful tangy flavour.

Ingredients

  • 200 ml (7 fl oz/scant 1 cup) lemon juice
  • grated zest of 4

Method

  • Put the lemon juice and zest in a saucepan and bring to the boil. (1)

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until light in colour. (2-4)
