Super Lemony Lemon Curd

Directions

1. 1
   Zest and juice lemons and set aside.
2. 2
   Place butter and sugar in a small mixing bowl and mix with electric mixer until well combined but not creamed. Keep mixer running and one at a time, add eggs, egg yolks, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
3. 3
   Once thoroughly combined, transfer mixture to a medium saucepan and place over low heat.
4. 4
   To prevent mixture from boiling (which will cause it to separate), stir continuously until mixture has thickened and you can draw a line in the liquid on your spatula.
5. 5
   Transfer mixture to a container and cover loosely with plastic wrap while it cools to prevent it from forming a skin.
