Calories: 98kcal
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry
- 3 large eggs
- 3/4 cup granulated white sugar
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- In a stainless steel bowl placed over simmering water, whisk together the eggs, sugar and lemon juice until blended. Cook, stirring constantly. This is really important, otherwise you risk the chance of it curdling. Continue to stir until it becomes thick. This will take between 5-10 minutes. Once it has reached a lovely thick and creamy texture, immediately remove from heat. Put through a fine strainer to remove any lumps. Cut in the butter and give a good stir.
- Preheat oven to 350ºF/180ºC. Grease a 24-count mini muffin pan.
- Cut the puff pastry into 24 equal small squares. Press a square into each muffin casing. Evenly spoon the lemon curd into each casing. It will be approximately a heaping teaspoon. Fill all the cups.
- Bake in a preheated oven between 15 - 18 minutes or until golden and puffed.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool before serving.
