No-Stir Lemon Curd

Ingredients

• 8 tablespoons butter, cut in chunks (1 stick)

• ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
• 3 eggs
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 pinch of salt

Preparation

1. Place butter in the Anyday dish, and cook uncovered in the microwave for 1-2 minutes in 30 seconds intervals, or until fully melted.
2. Add the lemon juice, sugar, eggs, yolks, and salt in the Anyday dish and blend with an immersion blender until well incorporated. Using an immersion blender or regular electric blender is imperative to the success of the recipe.

   Certain foods cook best in the microwave at lower power levels. 

   Different microwaves have different settings. See your microwave manual (or look it up online) to learn how to change your microwave’s power level.

   For many microwaves: enter the cook time, press the “Power” (or “Power Level”) button, and select a number between 1-10. Other microwaves may require selecting the Power Level first, and then entering the cook time.

   Microwaves list power levels in different ways. Here’s a guide to help you adjust:

   PL 10 = 100% = High (default)

   PL 9 = 90% = High

   PL 8 = 80% = Med-High

   PL 7 = 70% = Med-High

   PL 6 = 60% = Medium

   PL 5 = 50% = Medium

   PL 4 = 40% = Med-Low

   PL 3 = 30% = Med-Low

   PL 2 = 20% = Low

   PL 1 = 10% = Low

   You will know if the power level has been successfully changed if you hear periodic changes in the microwave’s tone after it begins cooking.
   

   for 10 minutes. The curd will be ready when the mixture coats the back of a spoon. If needed, cook for 30-second intervals on Power Level 6 until done.
4. Whisk the curd until a thick cream is formed.
5. Strain the curd to remove any potential curdled whites. Curd can be used hot as a filling or, once chilled, as a spread for pastries.
