½ cup granulated sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
<h4>Directions:</h4>
<b>Whisk Ingredients:</b> In a medium-sized heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, lemon juice, lemon zest, and sugar until well combined.
<b>Cook the Curd:</b> Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler method). Stir constantly with a wooden spoon or heatproof spatula, ensuring the mixture doesn't boil.
<b>Add Butter:</b> As the curd begins to thicken (about 5-7 minutes), gradually add the butter pieces, stirring until fully melted and the curd is smooth and glossy.
<b>Cool and Store:</b> Once thickened, remove the curd from the heat and strain it through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps. Allow it to cool slightly before transferring it to a jar. It can only be stored for up to two weeks under refrigeration.
<b>Enjoy:</b> Use your lemon curd as a spread, filling, or topping for your favorite desserts.
