Yo's Lemon Curd
I personally believe everyone should learn how to make lemon curd. It is easy to make and delicious. This is a win-win situation in my book. You can use lemon curd as a filling in cakes, to flavour buttercream, to spread on scones, or to fill pastry shells. Sometimes I scoop it onto vanilla ice cream and top it off with crumbled shortbread cookies and fresh strawberries. Let your imagination go wild, and your taste buds too.
