Ingredients:
3 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1/4 cup butter, softened and cut into pieces
Preparation:
Whisk together eggs and sugar in a medium saucepan until thoroughly blended.
Incorporate lemon juice and zest into the mixture until a smooth consistency is achieved.
Introduce butter and, over low heat, stir continuously until the mixture thickens (approximately 10 minutes).
Remove from heat and strain through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl.
Cover with plastic wrap, ensuring direct contact with the curd’s surface to prevent the formation of a skin.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until set.
