½cup(1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
3large eggs
5large egg yolks, at room temperature
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine lemon juice and zest, sugar, salt and butter
Place saucepan over medium heat, stirring, until sugar is dissolved, and butter melted. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine eggs and egg yolks until blended. Temper the egg mixture by adding a little of the butter mixture to the eggs. You do not want to cook the eggs.
Return tempered egg mixture to saucepan, and place over low heat. Whisk constantly until mixture thickens to a pudding-like consistency; do not let it boil, or the lemon curd will curdle. Remove from heat and continue to stir to stop the cooking.
Transfer the lemon curd to a bowl. Cover the surface with plastic wrap, and let it cool for at least an hour.
