Microwave Lemon Curd

配料

1/3 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1/3 cup freshly-squeezed lemon juice

zest of 1 lemon (~1 teaspoon)

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

pinch of salt

步骤

In a microwave-safe bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients very well.

Microwave on HIGH for 1 minute.

Stop, stir, and then microwave another minute.

Stir the lemon curd after 2 minutes, and then place it back in the microwave for a final 30 seconds.

After 2 minutes and 30 seconds, begin testing the lemon curd by quickly dipping a spoon into it, and running your finger through it.

If the line holds, the lemon curd is done. If the curd runs and fills the line you just made, try another 30 seconds in the microwave and test again.

The curd will thicken considerably as it cools.
