Character macarons

I've done 2 other characters, so cute, less than perfect, but A for effort and considering my very poor Art, I did pretty ok.

Oh so....

Oh so tired
Oh so drained
Oh so counting my blessings
Oh so fulfilled

So it has started all over again, been able to keep positive and still able to smile, so that's great. I hope to keep this up! 

Reading blogs
Baking macarons
Meeting friends who matters
Watching 甄嬛记
Doing up notes
Catching up on sleep

So far so good, work's busy, colleagues who have become friends are supportive and lovely, friends who matters are keeping in touch, family's fine, husband's stressed, but still coping, there, so many things to thank God for.

Blessed 2016.

Lemon Curd (yolks)

Cracking my brains on how to use the yolks after using 12 whites for the macaron orders. So I searched the internet and my own blog. The lemon curd on my blog used whole eggs, hence here's a new one using yolks. It's a good way to use up the yolks.

Ingredients
6 yolks
1/2 cup lemon juice
200g caster sugar
113.4g butter

1. Beat yolks and sugar till light and fluffy in a metal bowl.

2. Add lemon juice and beat to combine.

3. Heat mixture in metal bowl over simmering pot of water (double boil) and stir continuously till thickened. It is important to stir continuous or you may end up with scrambled eggs. 

4. Take it off heat and add butter little by little.

5. Place cling film over curd, touching surface and chill till ready to use.
