Ingredients
½cupMeyer lemon juice
2teaspoonMeyer lemon zest
3egg yolks
1whole egg
⅓cupgranulated white sugar
⅛teaspoonKosher salt
4tablespoonunsalted buttercubed
Instructions
Prepare a bain marie by filling a small pot of water ⅓ full with water. Bring to a boil on the stovetop.
To a medium glass heat-safe bowl, add the Meyer lemon juice, zest, egg yolks, whole egg, sugar, and salt.
Once the pot of water is boiling, place the glass bowl on top of the boiling pot. Whisk the ingredients together continually until thickened, about 8-12 minutes. The more air you whisk in, the fluffier the curd will be.
Take the bowl off the heat and stir in the butter. Continue to whisk frequently until the curd has cooled. Serve or store in an airtight container for 1-2 weeks in the refrigerator.
