Ingredients

Method

  • Combine eggs, sugar, rind and juice in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of gently simmering water. Cook, stirring, for 3 minutes or until sugar has dissolved
  • Gradually add the butter, one or two cubes at a time, whisking continuously
  • Cook, whisking, for a further 5 minutes or until mixture has thickened and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat. Cover the curd surface with plastic wrap to prevent it from forming a skin. Allow to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until cold
  • Serve on toast, scones or on your favourite sponge cake

Tips & Hints:

  • Lemon butter can be refrigerated in a sterilised jar or container for up to 2 weeks
  • Freeze lemon butter for up to 3 months. Store in an airtight container. Date and label clearly. Defrost in the refrigerator overnight. Whisk defrosted lemon butter until smooth before using
