Lemon Tartlet Part 1: Lemon Curd

For my final I decided to make Lemon Tartlets. These interested me because they were very small and cute but also because I love lemon things. The first step was to make the lemon curd which was to be the filling of the tarts. The filling required lemon juice, lemon zest, and egg and two egg whites, sugar and butter. I used a thick bottomed pot to cook the curds so they would not heat too fast. I whisked them together until the curds thickened I then poured it into a bowl and put into the fridge to chill. The curd turned out nice and tart, just the way I like it.
