Question 1

Why are my thumbprint cookies falling apart?

Accepted Answer

Even though these are easy to make with just five ingredients, you have to make sure you measure the flour correctly. If you are scooping your flour into measuring cups, you will have way too much flour, causing your cookies to crack or crumble. Also, make sure the butter is soft but not melted when you use it.

Question 2

Can I keep lemon curd at room temperature?

Accepted Answer

Any kind of homemade lemon curd needs to be refrigerated. Store-bought lemon curd is shelf-stable and can be left out until it has been opened because it has been processed. But once you open it, you will need to refrigerate it also. It can stay fresh in the fridge in an air tight container for about a week.

Question 3

How do I make lemon zest?

Accepted Answer

There are several ways to make your own lemon zest. You could use a microplane or grater. Just move the lemon gently over the grates, rotating it as you go. Make sure you do not get any of the white pith. It is very bitter. To use a citrus zester, put the zester at one end and push it into the fruit, pulling it down on the other end.
