Home Made Lemon Curd for Belgium Buns

The bowl may balance better over a saucepan of the apropriate size. I assume the water is boiling before it is put into the lower bowl - but you could boil up water in a saucepan and then remove it from the heat.

I melt chocolate like that in a pyrex bowl over a pan of hot water. I have an old pyrex casserole with a deep rim, which fits perfectly over one of my pans.

Are you going to add the recipes (Belgian buns and lemon curd) to the Gransnet recipes at www.gransnet.com/recipes?call=AddRecipeForm ?

I make mine in the microwave, never letting it overheat.

I have a lemon curd recipe that is made in the pan without any need for a bowl. I made it a couple of weeks ago for the first time in quite a while, and it was perfect.
The only thing I don't like about it is that having made it myself, I know just how much sugar is in it!!!

Yes, so much sugar. It is now in a jar in the fridge, ready for the buns tomorrow. If they are successful I will put out the recipes. I used a pyrex bowl over one of my saucepans, boiling water in the saucepan. Have now ordered a very cheap trivet from Amazon for next time.
Annodomi and Mamacaz could let me have your recipes for lemoncurd.
