  1. Combine gelatine and sugar in a medium saucepan.  Stir in egg and cold water; let stand 1 minute.  Add lemon juice, butter and lemon peel.  Stir over medium heat until gelatine is completely dissolved, butter melts and mixture comes to a boil, about 15 minutes.  Remove from heat.  

  2. Transfer mixture to a large bowl.  Refrigerate until the consistency of unbeaten egg whites, about 3 hours; stir occasionally.  

  3. Whisk until light and fluffy before serving.

An old British tradition, suitable for breakfast or afternoon tea.  Spread this fresh-tasting lemon curd on scones, biscuits or tea breads.
