These lemon curd squares are a result
of looking in a cooking book, searching for something not too rich and easy to
modify. These squares are a sign of appreciation for the person who
borrowed me that book! (And don't expect this to happen again! Ahha! I'm kidding... Well, half.) However, despite all efforts, only the filling was
successful. The crust was good but not awesome, which is why it is left out
from this recipe. To make it easier, you may use pre-made pie crust.
After preparing the squares, the song
“Lemon Tree” by Fool’s Garden came to my mind. It translates the sourness of
loneliness, the desire to escape a bland life. The “Lemon Tree” is the picture
of nothingness. Yet, the fruit itself represents so much. Its peel makes zest,
bringing tastes to life. It’s juice, so sour that it makes our smiles twist.
Although one may be alone, I subjectively believe that the lemon makes you feel
that you are not so alone, because of its flashy yellow colour, its strange
oval shape, its fragrant smell and its torturing yet pleasant taste. Is it wrong to think of
this fruit this way?
Alright, less talk!
Alright, less talk!
160g sugar
3 tbsp flour
Pinch of salt
2 tsp lemon zest
1 cup lemon juice
5 tbsp heavy cream
5 eggs
Mix everything together, pour the
filling on top of the cooked pie crust and bake it for 20 minutes at 325°F. The
cooked filling should gently jiggle when pulling out from the oven.
Good luck and enjoy!
