Lemon curd is a popular dessert spread in Bangladesh, often used in cakes, pies, and tarts. It is a zesty and tangy spread that is made by combining lemon juice, sugar, eggs, and butter. The mixture is heated until it thickens and then cooled in the refrigerator until it is ready to be used. Lemon curd can be enjoyed as a spread on toast, used as a filling in cakes and tarts, or eaten on its own as a dessert.

Instructions

1.	In a small saucepan, whisk together lemon juice, egg, sugar, cornstarch, and butter.
2.	Heat the mixture over medium heat, whisking constantly, until it thickens and begins to bubble around the edges.
3.	Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature before transferring to a jar or container.
4.	Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour.
