Crepes with lemon curd

Ingredients:

Instructions:

To make a lemon curd whisk the egg, yolks and sugar in a medium saucepan. Add the lemon juice, zest and whisk until the mixture is smooth and uniform. Set the saucepan on the stove over medium heat, cook stirring constantly, until thick - 8-10 min. If you have a cooking thermometer - use it. Cook the cream until it reaches a temperature of 160 F, then immediately remove from heat and let cool slightly. Pour into a jar or bowl and leave for several hours in the refrigerator. When the cream is cool - it will be much thicker. Cook 18-20 crepes as described in my previous recipe, but without orange butter. Fill the crepes with the lemon curd, sprinkle with a confectioners sugar and serve.

You will love this buns. The secret is in an incredibly delicious lemon curd. By the way, you can use it not only in this recipe. Try replacing the usual vanilla custard in your recipes by lemon, and you will be surprised with new flavors of traditional desserts. Just warning you, the cream should be cooked at least for 3-4 hours before you begin to bake buns. It is better to cook it in the evening, and let stand overnight in refrigerator.

Buns with lemon custard

Ingredients:

Instructions:

To make a custard whisk the egg, yolks and sugar in a medium saucepan. Add the lemon juice, zest and whisk until the mixture is smooth and uniform. Set the saucepan on the stove over medium heat, cook stirring constantly, until thick - 8-10 min. If you have a cooking thermometer - use it. Simmer the cream until it reaches a temperature of 175 F, then immediately remove from heat and let cool slightly. Pour into a jar or bowl and leave for several hours in the refrigerator. When the cream is cool - it will be much thicker. To prepare the dough, you need to warm milk, add in 1 tsp. sugar and yeast, and set aside 10 minutes to let the yeast come alive. In a bowl mix all dry ingredients and finely grated zest. Make a recess in the center, pour in there a lightly beaten egg and melted butter. Gradually add the milk with the yeast, knead the dough. The dough should be slightly sticky. Cover the bowl with the dough with a clean towel, and leave for 1.5 - 2 hours. Press down the dough and divide into 15-17 pieces. Roll out each piece on floured surface. You should get a thick oval of about 5x2,2  inches. Put a tablespoon of cream and fold once. So, you will get piece folded less than half. The rest, not folded part, cut into 1 inch strips and roll up to the end. Repeat with remaining portions of dough. Put the buns on the baking sheet, covered with a parchment paper, leave to "rest", about 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Cover your buns with beaten egg, bake for about 20-25 minutes, until golden brown. Let to cool on a wire rack, covered with a towel. Then sprinkle with powdered sugar - and you're done.
