England: Lemon Curd

Lemon curd has nothing to do with cheese or milk. This is a favorite and very traditional spread that people in England have been using on their toast and scones, and in pastry cooking, for at least a few centuries and probably much longer.

Ingredients:

  • 2 lemons

  • 2 eggs
  • 2 oz butter
  • 2 tbsp sugar

Remove the zest from the lemons (don't get down to the pith) and squeeze the juice out of them. Put juice, zest and other ingredients into a bowl set over a pan with hot water.
