Shortbread and Lemoncurd

Today I am throwing out a set of recipes that people were asking for, for months after the feast. This shortbread has a richness from the raw sugar and the perfect balance of moisture while the lemon curd has the perfect balance of sweet and pucker. Recipe Name: Shortbread Ingredients: 1 c butter 1 c raw sugar 3 c cake flour Steps: mix until well blended, it is impossible to over-mix this. roll to 1/4", cut to desired shape bake at 275º for 1 hour or until they just get the slighted hint of color NOTES: great served with jam, chocolate, or especially my lemon curd. Recipe Name: lemon curd Ingredients: 2 lemon juice and zest 1/2 c raw sugar 2 egg 1/4 c butter Steps: Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Turn off heat and keep stirring for 5 minutes Serve or can. NOTES: * if you want a more pungent and thicker curd cut the butter in half. The first day it will taste almost limy, but will mellow the second.
