Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice 2-3 lemons. Do not use bottled lemon juice.
  • 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter room temperature and cut in chunks
  • 1 Tablespoon lemon zest

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a non-reactive bowl, over simmering water, whisk eggs, sugar, and lemon juice until blended. Stir constantly to prevent the mixture from curdling. The consistency should look like hollandaise sauce and will take close to 10 minutes of constant stirring. If you have a candy thermometer, you want the temperature to reach 160 F.
  2. Remove from the heat and place through a strainer. Add the butter, stirring until it has fully incorporated into the curd. Stir in the lemon zest. Immediately place plastic wrap directly on the curd to prevent a film (skin) from forming. Let it cool at room temperature, then refrigerate.

Notes

  • Homemade Biscuits:
  • 1/2 cup cold butter
  • 2-1/2 cups self rising flour
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • extra flour for dusting
  • biscuit cutter
  • Directions:
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Cut the butter into chunks and place on top of the flour in a large mixing bowl. Cut butter into flour using a pastry knife or use two knifes until crumbly. Add buttermilk and stir just until the dry ingredients are incorporated. If dough is too wet, add a little more flour. On a lightly floured surface, knead dough 3-4 times, adding more flour as needed (hands are super gooey about now. Isn't this fun?! :)) Pat the dough down to about 3/4 inch thickness forming a rectangle. Fold one third over the center portion, and then fold the opposite third portion over those two layers. Repeat The patting and folding of the dough 1 more time.
  • Pat dough into 1/2 inch rectangle on a floured surface; cut with a 2 inch round biscuit cutter (or use a glass like I did), place on a parchment lined or greased baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned.
