Yield 28 servings, 1 Tbsp. each

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

2 whole egg s
2 egg yolk s
1 cup sugar
2 tsp. zest and 1/2 cup juice from 3 lemon s
6 Tbsp. butter, cut into small pieces

Steps:

Whisk first 3 ingredients in top of double boiler until blended. Stir in lemon zest and juice. Place over simmering water on low heat. (Do not allow simmering water to touch bottom of top pan.)
Cook 10 min. or until lemon mixture reaches 170ºF when tested with cooking thermometer, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Gradually add butter, stirring after each addition until most the butter is melted. Stir until completely melted.
Pour into bowl; cover with plastic wrap or waxed paper, pressing wrap directly onto surface of curd to prevent skin from forming on top. Cool completely.
Refrigerate up to 1 week before using as desired. (See tip.)
