Homemade Lemon Curd Recipe

I am ridiculous when it comes to compliments. Every now and then someone will say they like my shirt, or something like that, and I can’t seem to just say, ‘Thank you!’ I feel compelled to go into this long drawn out explanation of where I got it, blah, blah.

I know this about myself. I know nobody wants to hear it, yet I still do it.

So I am going to tell you something you’ll want to hear instead – make these Scones, spread some of this Lemon Curd on them, and top with whipped cream. You’ll thank me later!

If you feel like doing some Spring baking, then be sure to try making Lemon Cream Cheese Coffee Cake, Lemon Poppy Seed Cupcakes, Lemon Bars, Lemon Cake Mix Cookies, or Lemon Cheesecake Bars!

• 3 Eggs
• 1 cup Sugar
• 1/2 cup Lemon Juice
