  • 2/3 cup honey (225 grams)

  • As the butter melts, switch to a silicone spoonula and continue stirring, scraping the sides and bottom of the pan as the mixture begins to thicken. When it comes to a gentle bubble, stir for a few seconds more, then remove from the heat.
  • Push the curd through a strainer, pressing down with the back of your silicone spoonula to get as much through as possible. You'll just be left with a few small lumps of cooked egg.

  • Chill until cold, and use within a week or so. The curd will thicken further as it chills.
