TO MAKE THE LEMON CURD:
This technique takes the stress out of tempering eggs. It will keep the eggs from cooking every time.
Mix the butter and sugar together with an electric hand mixer, creaming them just as you would when making a cake - this will take 3-4 minutes.
Then add the eggs, one at a time, and mix each one in well.
Add the lemon juice, and zest then mix together. At this stage it won't really come together as a smooth creamy mixture - it will look like the mixture is separating but that's ok.
Add the mixture to a saucepan and cook for 8-9 minutes on low heat, whisking the entire time. It will thicken and become creamy.
Cool and store in sealed container in the fridge.
