The thickness of custards, and lemon curd is pretty much lemon custard, comes from egg yolks. I'd have thought gentle heating for a little longer would have got a better set. |

microwaved recipe.
1. Put the sugar, butter, lemon juice and zest in a bowl, cook on high for 3 minutes stiring half way
2. whisk the eggs then beat into the sugar mixture, cook on high until it starts to thicken - about 3 mins stirring frequently.
3. Once it begins to thicken cook for another 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds
4. Leave to stand for 5 minutes |
