Lemon Curd

I got this from my mom.

My mom liked lemon curd.
First time I ate it more than 20 years ago, but at that time I guess not known in Japan.
Good to eat with toast, cupcake, crackers or anything ,and then lemony flavour in heaven!

My mom got this recipe from a newspaper clipping as usual.
She read about English tea time, and knew it. Now I am guessing she had often imagined about english life, like her longing.

Now we can find buy lemon curd in supermarket, but I love homemade one because not too sweet and easy to make.

My mom recipe became mine, which has 2 more egg yolks with regular recipe.
I will make lemon DORAYAKI tomorrow☆
