Heston Blumenthal and Delia Smith are doing something together for Waitrose, hence lots of interesting recipe leaflets in the shop, that takes a huge chunks of my earnings…. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
This is the first by Heston I ever tried and it worked.<\/p>\n
I bought the pastry ( and some baking beans for that occasion) and baked it off to have it ready for my first ever lemon curd. I used 2 whole eggs, an egg yolk, beaten, a juice and zest of 2 whole unwaxed lemons, 110 g of sugar and vanilla sugar and 110 g of butter, put it all in the pan on a small heat and stirred with a whisk for about 15 minutes, not letting it simmer. Then, when it does simmer, after 5 seconds took it off the hear, put it through a fine sieve and covered with cling film, chilled in the fridge.<\/p>\n
When my pastry base cooled down I transferred the curd onto it and only then tasted it for the first time- loved it!!!!<\/p>\n
As seen on the photo, there is a room for improvement presentation wise, but as I made it from half a portion, there was too much pastry and not enough curd, next time will make it for some more people and it will be beautiful. Served with whipped cream and fresh raspberries.<\/p>\n
