My daughter made gorgeous Belgian buns I got the recipe from her, and did not know, until I saw that, that Belgium buns had lots of lemon curd in them. She made her own, and I have just today had a go at that. BTomorrow morning I will make the Belgium buns, so will use this then. Quite easy to make (assuming it comes out okay ). Just cooling down at present.
Only problem I had was the recipe for the Curd said you make in a bowl over a bowl of boiling water, but NOT to let the bowl touch that water. Did not have any trivets, and just had to manage with one of them.

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.
