Metric - US Customary
Instructions
- In a heat-resistant bowl, mix the egg, sugar, and lemon juice until combined.
- Bring to a bain-marie: Place the bowl over a pot with water and bring to a simmer. Don’t let the bowl be touching the boiling water.
- Beat the mixture with a whisk constantly until it reaches 175°F (80°C). It should take about 10-15 minutes from when the water starts to boil, and when you touch it, the curd is starting to burn.
- Remove from the heat, add the butter, cold, cut into small cubes, and combine with a whisk or with a hand processor until smooth. If you use a whisk, strain the curd after combining.
- Let cool down in the fridge with plastic wrap in contact, for at least four hours before consuming. Store in clean jars in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.
