Lemon Curd

COVID-19 lemon series part 3 – Lemon Curd. What better way to round out a lemon-themed meal than with dessert? I am not a big fan of icing, but I’m all in on using lemon curd as a topping on simple vanilla cake. Bonus – you can spread the leftover lemon curd on pancakes the next morning!
