Ah lemon curd, God's gift to lemon lovers everywhere! Use it on toast, scones or cakes, no matter what, you need a jar of this in your fridge all the time!
Beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer for about two minutes, just like you do to make cookies.
Slowly add the eggs then beat for one more minutes. Stir in the lemon juice.The mixture will look curdled, but it will smooth out as it cooks.
Place the mixture in a medium sauce pan and cook over low heat until it's smooth. Increase the heat to medium and cook, continuously stirring, until the mixture thickens. The mixture should stick to the spoon slightly.
If there are any lumps, strain through a sieve.
Cool in the refrigerator for a few hours, it will thicken up some more in the fridge. Keep in the fridge in a jar/jars.
