The easiest is the lemon syrup. 514 00:20:09,314 --> 00:20:11,506 And so for this one, I need a lot of sugar. 515 00:20:11,709 --> 00:20:12,649 It would be enough. 516 00:20:14,526 --> 00:20:17,523 And it’s like making pastry cream 517 00:20:17,523 --> 00:20:21,491 but with more of that sour tingling style. 518 00:20:21,615 --> 00:20:24,285 Plus the lemon juice we squeezed earlier. 519 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,236 - So I'm just adding my sour cream, Chef, 520 00:20:26,244 --> 00:20:27,022 to this one. 521 00:20:27,738 --> 00:20:30,716 And then, we're going to whip this again 522 00:20:30,726 --> 00:20:33,013 while I prepare the eggs. 523 00:20:33,285 --> 00:20:33,978 - I love it. 524 00:20:34,154 --> 00:20:35,349 So while you're preparing the eggs... 525 00:20:35,728 --> 00:20:37,805 So this process, it's called tempering. 526 00:20:37,813 --> 00:20:40,233 It's usually not done for lemon curd. 527 00:20:40,241 --> 00:20:42,601 Usually, for lemon curd, it’s all in one go. 528 00:20:42,601 --> 00:20:44,737 Just one pot, mix everything together 529 00:20:44,737 --> 00:20:49,954 until they form the thickness or consistency you prefer. 530 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:53,877 Then, slowly, so tempering cooks your eggs 531 00:20:53,890 --> 00:20:57,082 without coagulating everything, making the temperature equal 532 00:20:57,082 --> 00:20:58,397 for both liquids. 533 00:20:58,397 --> 00:21:00,621 And then from there, put it back. 534 00:21:03,461 --> 00:21:05,957 Right.
