One of my favorite things with biscuits is lemon curd. I grew to love this scone & pastry topping while on an extensive trip through Britain in the 80’s. This is my traditional recipe modified to be Atkins friendly. Had it on a Muffin-in-a-Minute for breakfast and man was it ever good! I would think this would also make a good cream filling between layers of vanilla cake or pound cake. As lemon and lime juice is limited during Induction to 3 T. per day, this recipe is only suitable for Induction if you don’t over indulge.
