    Great recipe! I made this yesterday and had a few notes: if you don't want the bars to be too sour reduce the juice by at least half a cup! I did this and the bars were still pretty sour. Also, you don't need a dozen eggs. I did one whole egg and six yolks (i think you could even do 5) and they set very well.

    Having a newborn at home found this recipe quick to make but was still rushing to make it while the baby was sleeping. So, made the shortbread and baked it, and then went straight to making curd. Was so happy that shortbread baked just slightly before my curd was cooked. Grabbed a mesh strainer, poured curd on the shortbread, shoot to to owen and did a little happy dance because I made it all before baby woke up! Adored the baking through the owen glass for a while, happily turned around and there it goes - butter that was suppose to go into curd was smiling at me from the table 😮😂
    So yeah…I found the final result a bit too eggy for my liking 😂 maybe will try again. And will put that butter into curd this time…

    I may try to incorporate this curd recipe with my own recipe for lemon bars (based on one from David Lebovitz) which I love. I know when I'm going to make the lemon bars, so I blitz the zest with the sugar a day or so before making and use the lemon flesh. Makes for a very lemony lemon bar. I will definitely use the tip to use parchment paper in lieu of aluminum foil though (thanks!). Love the channel and the cookbooks. Claire's chocolate chip cookie recipe is now the only one I use.

    It's easier to use that microplane against the lemon, like a bow on a violin. It gets it all off in one pass and you can see what you're doing without turning the lemon over and looking. All the zest piles up and the curved edges keep it contained while you go.
