HOMEMADE LEMON CURD
It's hard to go back to shop-bought curd after making your own. Just make sure you keep an eye on the pan while the curd is thickening so that it doesn't split.

Steps:
- Break the eggs into a saucepan and whisk to combine. Stir in the remaining ingredients and place over a medium heat.
- Whisk continuously over the heat until the mixture coats the back of a spoon and is slightly thickened - this could take 7-10 minutes. Do not allow the mixture to boil or it may split.
- Remove from the heat and leave to cool. Spoon into a sterilised jar (or two small jars) seal, and leave to thicken.
- Keep in the fridge for up to a month, but use within a week of opening the jar.

Steps:
- Sift flour, confectioners' sugar, and salt together in a bowl. Press softened butter into flour mixture and combine until blended. Pat stiff dough into two 9x13-inch pans forming even layers. Pierce through dough with a fork every 1/2-inch in lines parallel to the long sides of the pans; use a clean yard stick laid across the pan as a guide to make straight rows. Chill dough until firm.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Bake in the preheated oven until lightly golden, about 11 minutes. Cut into rows using fork marks, again using a yardstick as a pan guide. Cut rows into 3-inch lengths to make fingers. Cool completely in the pan.
- Meanwhile, beat eggs in a bowl. Stir in sugar, lemon juice, melted butter, and lemon rind. Pour into the top of a double boiler set over simmering water; cook and stir until thick and smooth, 5 to 10 minutes. Cool at room temperature.
- Serve shortbread fingers with lemon curd.
