Lemon Curd

Really... what goes better with a scone? Nothing. Ok, maybe a beer.

This makes about 1 cup of lemon turd, which really goes a long way

Ingredients
5 large egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup lemon juice (about 1 large lemon)
Grated Lemon zest of 1 lemon
4 Tbspn unsalted butter

1. In a heavy saucepan, whisk egg yolks and 1/2 cup sugar together for 1 minute
2. Whisk 1/4 cup lemon juice and zest into egg yolk mix
3. Stirring constantly, heat egg/lemon mix over low heat until it slightly thickens
4. Remove from heat, stir in 4 Tbspns butter until it's all melted in
5. Cool in Fridge (it will turn into a soft butter)
6. Store in fridge (you can also freeze it)
