Lemon Meringue Crepes

How to make the lemon curd

1. Dice the butter and set aside in the fridge.
2. Add water to a saucepan and heat to simmer.
3. Place a stainless steel or glass bowl on the simmering saucepan (double boiler) and add the eggs, sugar, lemon juice and lemon rind into the bowl and whisk continually.
4. Slowly add the cold diced butter and stir continually until all butter is added and melted.
5. The curd is ready when you run a finger along the back of a spoon dipped in the curd and it stays separated.
6. Strain/sieve into a jug or bowl.
7. Refrigerate to set the curd.

How to make the crêpes

1. Add eggs, oil and half of the milk into a mixing bowl.
2. Add the sugar and salt into the bowl, then add the flour slowly, whilst mixing thoroughly.
3. Once the batter is smooth, add the remaining milk and mix together. Set aside to rest.
4. Heat a non-stick frying pan on a medium heat; add butter or oil if preferred. If using a regular frying pan, butter or oil is required.
5. Ladle approximately 100ml of batter and swirl the pan so it spreads around the pan. Flip the crêpe once the first side is golden brown. It should take approximately 2 minutes to cook on each side.
6. Place crêpes on a wire rack covered with a tea towel to keep warm while making the rest of the crêpes.

Putting the dish together
