LEMON CURD
1 ½ Cup sugar
3 Tablespoons cornstarch
3 Tablespoons flour
1 ½ Cups water
3 eggs
2 Tablespoons butter
½ teaspoons lemon peel
½ Cups lemon juice
Combine sugar, cornstarch and flour. Stir in water and cook over medium high heat until sugar dissolves and is thickened (12 minutes?). Remove from heat. Beat eggs and add 1/3 cup of the warm sugar mixture, a tablespoonful at a time, and stir into eggs until it warms up the eggs. (This keeps the eggs from curdling or turning into scrambled eggs!) Pour into sugar mixture and return to stove, bringing to gentle boil for 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in remaining ingredients. (It was recommended by someone that we just combine all the ingredients at once and slowly heat until dissolved, and then bring to a gentle boil. I tried it and it worked perfectly! So much easier. )
