Easy Peasy Lemon Curd

I made this tonight with the girls.  I haven't made any for ages.  This recipe will make you a small pot and is super scrummy!

All you need is:

A lemon the rind and juice of
100g caster sugar
50g salted butter
3 egg yolks

First heat the lemon, sugar and butter gently in a bowl above a pan of boiling water.  Don't let the bowl touch the water.

When it's all melted add the egg yolks and whisk constantly (it must be constant otherwise the eggs will cook funny and you'll have a bitty mixture instead of smooth) for about 5 minutes.

Put in the container you choose to keep it in and allow to cool at room temperature for about half an hour.  Put in the fridge and allow to cool for a further 30 minutes to an hour then enjoy.
