lemon curd bread sticks

I don't know many people who like lemon curd and I've also never been attracted to the title 'lemon curd'. Probably because of the curd part. When I think curd I picture coagulated milk in my head and that isn't pretty. It's not right at all.

You can get lemon curd at the supermarket but with just a few lemons, sugar, eggs and butter you can make a homemade version which is just as good - if not even better! I enjoy my lemon curd with a few toasted bread sticks but you can also have it with some plain pancakes or waffles.

This recipe isn't too sweet so the tangy and citrusy taste of the fresh lemons is still there.
