This is essentially a expert recipe. I did brand some tweaks tho that I remember will solve most of the issues I see. Offset of all, as with any yolk custard, you want everything ready alee of time. Do Not mix the water with the egg yolks. Beat out the yolks separately. Use simply 3 tbl of Corn Starch. Add together the dry ingredients to the pot to the pot, then add the water. Oestrus on med stirring constantly until thick and bubbly. Mixture will be VERY thick. Atmosphere mixture into the yolks slowly until you have incorporated half of the mixture into the yolks. Scoop the yolk mixture back into the pan and cook for exactly one more minute. Remove from rut and alloy in the lemon juice. Then alloy in the butter and beat for xxx seconds. I remember you volition find a better gustatory modality and texture with this method.

The recipe has lemon JUICE in the ingredients and says lemon EXTRACT in the directions. I assumed it was juice because, hey, who would use 2/three c of extract! It came out pretty gelatinous (sort of stiff) I may have cooked information technology also long. And it had a strong sort of bite to it (could've been the lemons). I used it for a filling for a white block so I whipped some whipping cream and used about 1/2 whipped cream, 1/2 lemon custard and it was all the rave.

I wanted to apply this as filling betwixt cake layers. The lemon flavour is very mild, consitency was perfect for a filling, but the flavor was simply very weak even later on adding extra lemon.

I don't know why and so many people accept a problem with this recipe considering information technology is delicious! Non corn starchy at all! I did make a few slight modifications: ~I have made this twice, and the 2d time used a picayune less sugar. ~I beat egg yolks in the bowl, and added the lemon juice and a little zest. ~In a bucket, I melted the sugar, butter, and salt in half the water. I whisked the corn starch in the other half of the water, and so once everything was melted, added the starch h2o and cook until desired consistency. ~Then, I added the sugar mixture to the egg mixture in small amounts until well composite. I used this to make lemon crepes and lemon tarts. I dearest it. I tried the lemon flavored jello, and this recipe has a much amend flavor.

This was very good. However, I did add 1/2 tsp. lemon extract for a stonger lemon flavor and only used 3 tbsp. of cornstarch.

This recipe was not at all what i was looking for. i wanted something that was like the filling of a lemon doughnut. simply this was not it. If you like the way cornstarch tastes. you will honey this, because that is what it tastes like, with a lemon twang at the terminate.

This is a quick and piece of cake filling. It is delicious. I used it for mini tarts.
03/10/2011
Later on following the suggest of Scott d BBQ man, I inverse the method of adding ingredients. I combined the dry out mix with h2o and cooked till thick. Then tempered in the yolks and cooked nigh a minute longer. Then added in the lemon juice....and equally I'grand writing this I realized I forgot the butter!! Oops! After adding the juice, I removed from the heat. This will be my get to recipe every time I need a thick lemon filling or custard! Even without the butter, information technology'due south delicious!!!

I used less cornstarch than the recipe called for and it still had a "raw" cornstarch taste. The balance seems to be off. It did have a nice lemon season. I would adapt the cornstarch once more, and try cooking it longer to alloy the flavors amend.

This did not plough out for me at all. It did not get very thick and it tasted like cornstarch. Maybe I did something incorrect? Ended up filling the cake with whipped cream instead.

This was so good and tart, I used information technology in a lemon cake I made for my fathers 80th b'solar day party and the people raved about the block and the filling. Thank you! Joyce

I used this for filling between 2 white cake layers and my family loved it!! They all went crazy and had seconds! Great recipe! Yummy!

This was our first fourth dimension making custard and it turned out great. We followed the instructions to the letter and were very pleased. Super lemon taste, slightly tart, slightly sweet - the perfect balance. My 15-twelvemonth old girl made the custard with no assist and was very successful. We used it as filling on a white layer block. Wonderful!!

I used this Recipe for the middle of a vanilla cake Information technology was cake mix . IT was adept bu y. I wished it was thicker . Instead it was a little runny too that delicous
08/fourteen/2009
This is a adept recipe for a tart or what I used it for, a danish. Very good lemon taste (double the corporeality of fresh lemon). If you're on the east coast the filling is like a Tastycake Pie or Hostess Pie. I don't call back this is for a cake but more so for a tart, pie, danish, or donut. This is a unproblematic recipe I can't imagine what other did to have a poor result.

I followed Scott d BBQ man's advice from May 10, 2010 by cutting down the corn starch and rendering the egg yolks. I decided that the butter would melt ameliorate if I added it before the lemon juice. It took some time to thicken up, so I retrieve the people who had trouble with this recipe did not stir long plenty. Later I made this, I allow it cool and so covered it and put in the refridgerator over night. In the morning time I whipped some heavy whipping cream with carbohydrate and vanilla. After stiff peaks formed, I folded the lemon custard into information technology. I then stuffed puffed pastry with the lemon infused whipped cream and strawberries. WOW.. What a wonderful treat. My hubby and the girls at work loved this!!!

I've made this stuff so many times, it's a hit with my patients. I'thousand a nurse working with severely depressed geriatric patients in a community mental wellness dispensary, and I offer them choices of cakes for me to bake for their birthdays. This is a summit favorite. Yeah, kinda thick, kinda cornstarchy, but equally some go out and others take their place, the give-and-take gets around that, "...if it'southward your birthday, enquire for her lemon block!"

excellent for cakes filling, i´ve reduced the cornstarch i tspn, and i´d mixed 2 tspn more of lemon juice, cause i like a lot the lemon tasty... recomendable

I was peckish a lemon custard type dessert and decided to try this with some modifications. I used ii% milk instead of water and followed another reviewer's suggestions to atmosphere the egg yolk with the milk-sugar-starch mixture. I added lemon zest in addition to the lemon juice for extra flavor and omitted the butter. I chilled information technology for an hour then froze it for some other two-3 hours. It was refreshing and had a nice texture although possibly a little as well sugariness to be eaten alone. Side by side time I will effort this equally a filling.
10/16/2005
the taste is precise and lite too, give thanks y'all.
08/16/2014
It will turn out better if the cornstarch is mixed with the water offset to avoid lumpiness and and then add information technology and the beaten egg yolks to the dry out ingredients. I used fresh cut Persian lemons from one of my lemon trees squeezing upwardly to iv lemon skins later I took the juice and this mode I got the lemon oil as well. I highly recommend this recipe. ...ARG.
07/08/2011
Thick and creamy! Good also with orangish extract+vanella mixed with water upwardly to the amount needed of lemon!
01/07/2009
This is an awesome recipe!! I use this filling with a cream cake recipe I found on this site (Creamy White Layers). I also keep a portion of the custard and fold in some whipped cream to frost the cake. It's makes a wonderful light and tasty lemon dessert.
09/04/2005
Came out way too thick for the liquid ratio to the thickening. Non very flavorable. Maybe put some almond or vanilla extract in it and increase the liquid. Not good...should of maid lemon curd instead.
08/05/2003
This lemon filling was admittedly divine! I filled a yellow cake with this and covered information technology with a chocolate frosting that I found on this site, and information technology was fabulous. I made the cake a 24-hour interval alee, and this didn't brand my cake soggy at all. It tasted especially good because the cake reached room temp while the filling was nonetheless cold and house. Everyone raved virtually it. I did add together an actress tablespoon of lemon juice, though, since I like a powerful lemon taste.

Made this forth with David'southward Yellow Cake (substituting the vanilla for lemon excerpt), Lemon Curd and Lemon Foam Cheese Frosting into a 4 layer block for my Mom in Law's birthday. She ran away with the cake! Adjusted it by adding an boosted one/8 loving cup of half and half and two more tablespoons of butter later on taking it off the heat.
09/22/2012
Yummy! This recipe is great. I modified it a little chip with less cornstarch (3 tbs simply) and a petty less h2o and sugar. For two egg yokes I call up the less carbohydrate and water make information technology taste perfect. This recipe is then good and I used one real lemon and squeezed it twice into the saucepan while I stirred the eggs on low heat.
05/01/2009
This did not gustatory modality good, and even though I followed the directions precisely, as soon equally I spread this between the layers and put the elevation cake on, information technology went splat downwardly the sides. Not thick plenty to be a filling, and not tasty enough either. Had to scrape information technology off the cake and throw it out. A waste product of my time and my ingredients. I cannot recommend this recipe.
03/06/2007
I used this for a custard filling for a tart. I read about the cornstarch from other reviewers, so used a bit less of that. I'thousand too into turbinado sugar lately, so used that instead of white (merely a scrap less than called for for white), and besides added LEMON ZEST (about 1 one/2 tsp). Yum!
04/eleven/2016
Tastes great, great consistency. A trick I've learned from previous custard recipes: y'all desire to actually touch on the plastic wrap to the custard while cooling. This prevents a film from forming and saves your consistency. Did not taste like cornstarch, had a perfect lemon sense of taste (not too much, not too footling). I used organic cornstarch and Santa Cruz organic lemon juice, which is a very strong-tasting lemon juice. I found myself in a bind when I forgot the filling for pastries I was making, and this was quick. I had all the ingredients already and it was exactly what I needed. Thanks!
06/05/2009
After reading the reveiws, I still wanted to try this recipie...sad the reviews were right, It'southward to thick to use as a block filling and has was to much cornstarch, out of desperation( block needs to be out in the morning) I mixed it with a vinilla custard and it was very skillful. I do not reccomend this recipie
06/17/2018
I added lemon extract and grated lemon skin to upwards the flavor. Adjacent time I would reduce the cornstarch as it was a bit stiff. Information technology was a very tasty addition to our block!
05/02/2020
I fabricated it with the suggestions provided by the top reviewer - I did also reduce the saccharide amount to 1/3 cup and added 2% milk instead of h2o. Did not add butter considering it just tasted perfect already without it. Indeed merely 3 tbsp of cornstarch was needed for this recipe. Definitely a keeper! :)
03/26/2019
The rainbow cake was cracking. Did not similar the taste of this at all. Too much corn starch! Eish I would have read all the comments before making. A lemon curd filling would have bedn delightful!
08/xx/2001
very nice. my hubby flipped over it! added information technology to a unproblematic sponge block and just sprinkled it with icing carbohydrate.
02/20/2017
delicious
01/26/2013
This recipe went from thin to super clumpy in nearly two seconds. I whisked until I could intermission most of the clumps apart. It didn't taste eggy and then I know the eggs weren't scrambled but it had an odd texture compared to other curds I've made. Perhaps there was a scrap as well much cornstarch but I was able to employ it for my cake filling anyhow.
04/xi/2020
Followed Scott D BBQ Man's instructions exactly and it turned out perfect! Tasted it when done and it was polish, just the right mix of sweet and tart and the right consistency for a filling in the lemon cupcakes I am making. Cheers to both the person who wrote the original recipe and Scott for the excellent suggestions. The combination of the 2 brand a perfect lemon custard!
12/07/2014
It tastes AMAZING!!! I would definitely make it over again,although,it does scent weird and on the directions when information technology says "accept off oestrus and cool" and so I didn't know if I was supposed to put it in the refrigerator or not. It all the same tastes great though!
02/22/2015
The ingredients and the proportions are perfect in my opinion, but for the method, follow the instructions of reviewer Scott d BBQ Man. You need to mix the dry ingredients together with the h2o, and cook and whisk continuously until thick. Keep the beaten yolks split until the mixture is as thick as you lot want it to exist. Then put a few spoonfuls of the white mixture into the eggs, trounce vigorously by mitt, add together a bit more, repeat, and eventually put the whole combined mixture back into the pot that's on the heat and continue to cook and whisk for one boosted minute. Then finish by removing from heat and whisking in juice and butter. Practice non stop stirring at any stage or it will clump up. Believe me, information technology's worth information technology. I wanted to eat the whole thing with a spoon without putting it on the block. It made enough to make a thick layer between my two block layers (8" cake) and besides a layer on the peak (underneath the icing - fabricated information technology extra succulent!). Oh and I don't have a double boiler and only used a very thick-bottomed bucket and information technology worked fine.

Hillary, nice job. Clear instructions and practiced measurements. I made a double batch of this recipe exactly equally posted. 50 just put information technology in the fridge to cool. Even warm it is delicious. It has a pleasant lemony flavor. Non too picayune non as well much (though I am a as well much lemon kinda gal). Maybe too gentle a flavor for block filling (too much flavor competition?). Anyways, this would be excellent for those adorable niggling tarts Jean posted a picture of. I was a bit sceptical about the egg yolks mixed in with the water but there was no problem. It composite well and didn't curdle. It was very thick before the lemon and butter were added but it could be that I might take cooked it a moment too long or that'southward the mode it is supposed to be to be able to handle more liquid at the end. I did vanquish the 7734 out of it with the whisk earlier adding the lemon and butter and again after. Poured information technology in a bowl, stole some, covered with plastic wrap, and stuck it in the fridge for tomorrow. After scooping the warm curd with animal crackers (philistine, no apologies). I don't know if there will be annihilation left for tarts. Kudos again, Hillary. Cheers for sharing.

I consider myself somewhat expienced at making custards. This one was horrible with a stiff sense of taste of cornstarch. It was not edible.
03/13/2019
Following the instructions I fabricated the succulent colorful cake, didn't need to modify annihilation. The cake was moist and total of flavor if you like citrus flavors. The lemon custard filling gave it that piddling extra tanginess combined with the orange cream frosting as a whole, the cake was perfect and festive equally a birthday cake too.
09/10/2015
Not for me. Taste wasn't bad, but texture and eye/mouth entreatment was a 1 out of 5
01/19/2018
Piece of cake recipe to follow, tastes cracking. I will be making this once again.
06/07/2013
I love this used in for the filling in a lemon cake...yum!
06/05/2009
After reading the reveiws, I still wanted to try this recipie...distressing the reviews were right, It'due south to thick to utilize as a cake filling and has was to much cornstarch, out of desperation( cake needs to be out in the morning) I mixed it with a vinilla custard and it was very good. I exercise not reccomend this recipie

Turned out really dainty kind a quick and easy
05/24/2020
I used a picayune less than one/iv cup corn starch and used 1/2 cup lemon juice. I also added the lemon juice earlier than stated. It turned out not bad! I made a pie for my hubby and myself, and information technology was gone by the cease of the twenty-four hours. I will probably just brand the custard to consume out of cups.
08/15/2016
I loved it. Only thing information technology demand was some lemon zest and more juice and for extra lemon season I cooked it with the rinds!
xi/11/2015
Used 3/iv cup of evaporated milk instead of water for extra richness. Also used i/4 tsp. of lemon extract. After reading the other reviews saying that it had a strong corn starch flavor, I lowered it.
01/26/2013
Fantabulous recipe! Of import that I follow Scott d BBQ man's directions. I whipped to egg whites into a topping & this was a smashing dessert.
