Method:
- Combine egg yolks, egg, sugar, lemon zest and juice in a large heatproof microwave-safe bowl. Whisk with a balloon whisk until combined
- Add the diced butter and place onto the microwave turntable
- Follow manufacturer’s instructions to reduce microwave power to 50%. Cook uncovered for 7-10 minutes, stirring every minute until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon. (See tips)
- Cover the curd surface with plastic wrap to prevent it from forming a skin. Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until cold
Tips & Hints:
- To serve, spoon lemon curd onto pancakes and top with fresh blueberries.
- When making the curd, begin checking the thickness of the curd at 6 minutes cooking time.
- Dip a spoon into the curd then run your finger over the back of it. If it leaves a clean line in the curd, it’s cooked enough and ready to cool.
- Microwaves vary in type, wattage and size, so cooking times may vary. Use cooking times as a guide.
- Curd will thicken as it cools.
- Spoon into a container, cover and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
