    I have made lemon curd for years and I would never use corn flour, if made properly it is thick enough without it.

    yumm thanks:) you can also try making the recipe with strawberries (but add a lil lemon juice to it as it acts as a preservative) strawberry curd is favourite amongst the kids.
