A yummy spread for pancakes, toast or as a cake icing, this homemade lemon curd is better than the shop bought stuff, and much healthier!

Ingredients

60g butter (at room temperature)
100g honey (ideally raw organic)
4 egg yolks
1 additional egg (including the white)
2/3 cup of lemon juice (around 2 large lemons)
Zest of 1 of the lemons

Equipment

Small saucepan
Grater
Juicer
Electric whisk
Mixing bowl x 2

Allergens

Dairy
Egg

Directions

Electric whisk the butter and honey together - start on a low speed and build up until fully combined and slightly fluffy
Separate the yolks from 4 eggs and add them to a separate bowl
Zest one of the lemons and juice them both
Add the lemon to the egg yolks, crack in the other whole egg and lemon then slowly add to the butter and honey mix while whisking on a low setting - the mixture will look curdled but don't worry!
Pour into a saucepan on a low heat and stir continuously for 10-20 minutes until the mixture looks smooth
Once smooth, increase the heat to medium and continue to stir until the mix thickens - take it off the heat just as it starts to boil (if you allow it to boil it will curdle)
Allow to cool and then transfer into a glass jar and store in the fridge for 1 week
