- 4 large egg yolks
- 7 tbsp unsalted butter room temp
Equipment
Method
- Create a double boiler by place a saucepan of simmering water over medium to medium-low heat and placing a heatproof bowl on top of the saucepan. Add the egg yolks, sugar, lemon zest, juice, and salt into your heatproof bowl and whisk until thoroughly blended. Make sure to constantly whisk to prevent the yolks from curdling. Whisk until the mixture thickens to about the viscosity of a hollandaise sauce, about 10-12 minutes. Once the mixture has reached the desired thickness, remove from the heat.
- Cut the room temperature butter into pieces and whisk into the curd. Pour the curd into a glass jar or bowl and place a single layer of plastic cling wrap so that is touches the top of the curd. Allow the curd to cool completely before serving.
