Aren't they so cute! Tasty but too much work for 12 cupcakes. But I did make homemade lemon curd - that recipe is worth sharing.
3 T plus 1 1/2 sugar
3 T lemon juice
4 1/2 t butter
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 t grated lemon peel
In a heavy saucepan, cook and stir the sugar, lemon juice and butter until smooth. Stir a small amount of hot mixture into egg, return all to pan. Bring to a gentle boil, stirring constantly, cook 2 minutes longer or until thickened. Stir in lemon peel. Cool for 10 minutes. Cover and chill for 1 1/2 hours or until thickened.
Katie and I are taking on "cupcakes" as one of our Young Women's projects. The curd sounds delicious....maybe add some blueberries....It isn't even 9 am and I am craving cupcakes. My new rule is not to look at your blog until after eating lunch :-)
