this recipe is from the Culinary Institute of America's Cake Art cookbook... I can't wait to try this one..it sounds very lemony...
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, cubed shopping list
- 1 cup sugar shopping list
- 1 cup lemon juice shopping list
- Zest of 3 lemons shopping list
- 10 large egg yolks shopping list
How to make it
- Combine half of the butter, half of the sugar, the lemon juice, and zest and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring gently to dissolve the sugar. Meanwhile, blend the egg yolks with the remaining sugar. Temper the mixture by gradually adding about one-third of the lemon juice mixture, stirring constantly with a whip. Return the tempered egg mixture to the saucepan. Continue cooking, stirring constantly, until the whisk leaves a trail in the curd. Remove from the heat. Stir in the remaining butter. Strain the curd into a shallow container or bowl. Cover with plastic wrap placed directly on the surface of the curd. Cool over an ice bath. Store the curd, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
