Instructions

1. In a medium heatproof bowl, rub the lemon zest into the sugar with your fingertips until fragrant and slightly moist.
2. Whisk the egg yolks and whole eggs into the bowl until well combined and slightly thickened, then whisk in the lemon juice until smooth.
3. Set the bowl over a saucepan of gently simmering water. Whisk constantly for about 8 to 10 minutes, until the curd thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon or reaches 170°F (77°C). Do not let it boil.
4. Remove the bowl from the heat and immediately whisk in the butter until melted and the curd is glossy and smooth.
5. Strain the curd through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl or jar.
6. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface, let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours. It will thicken further as it cools.
