      Recipe is created for
      TM 5
      If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
      For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

    Add lemon peel to bowl. 5 seconds/speed 7 scrape down sides and repeat until the peel is very finely grated.  

     

    Leaving peel in bowl add sugar (300 grams)  and the cornstarch (2 tablespoons), lemon juice (240 grams), water (50 grams), butter (70 grams) and egg yolks (6). 

     

    5 seconds/speed 6 to mix everything together. 

     

    Scrape down sides of bowl and insert butterfly. 

     

    9 minutes/80 degrees Celsius/speed 2

     

    Curd will thicken more upon cooling but if it's extra runny sometimes it needs a few more minutes at 80 degrees/speed 2 to help it thicken.

    This was an epic fail! Followed receipe exactly and it was sooooooo runny, I then doubled the cooking time and increased the cornflour x 4 and still runny, didn't even thicken after cooling down.  Is there an ingredient missing or something!?!?!?
