Lemon Cupcakes


Lemon Cupcakes with Lemon Curd Filling and Cream Cheese Frosting

What did you do today?


Lemon Curd Filling

Here's What You Need:

1 1/2 Lemons, Zested and Juiced
3/4 Cup Sugar
2 T Butter
4 Egg Yolks

Here's What You Do:

1. Make Cupcakes and Let them Cool

2. Put all of the ingredients in a small saucepan and cook on low low heat for about 10 minutes -- at least until everything is melty and lemony and incorporated. Stir almost constantly.

3. Take your pot off the heat and stir the curd (gently -- don't break your arm off) as it cools. 

4. Use a piping bag and pastry tip to pump your cupcakes full of lemon curd. Or just eat the lemon curd. Because it's delicious even though "curd" is on the list of worst words for awesome things ever.
