Raisin Bread with Lemon Curd

May 22, 2012 by Maureen 103 Comments

On Sunday morning my friend Deb invited me for coffee.  I never go out for coffee because I’m always working. I went this time because I work from home and sometimes I really miss girly talk.  I can talk to John but I can get as much reaction from talking to the wall if he’s got some programming thing he’s trying to sort out in the background.  Men can’t do two things at once.

Deb and I went to a lovely cafe on Lake Kawana and sat outside facing the beach and the lake.  There were mums and dads and kids everywhere with kids playing in the sand, two little boys fishing from the pontoon, skateboarders and people eating and people walking the path around the lake.  It was an idyllic setting.  Did I take photos?  No, I was out for fun with a friend, but I when I decided to make the raisin bread with lemon curd I went back and took a photo for you.

Lake Kawana

I had Charlie in the car with me – he loves to go in the car – so I thought, maybe I should swing by the beach on the way home and toss the ball for him.  We get to the beach and there’s NO ball in the car, just the empty thrower thing. (I need a thrower because I throw like a girl I’m told.)  Not to be outdone, I decided there must be a driftwood stick we could use.

Charlie at the Buddine Beach

Charlie Before Stick

We looked for about 3 minutes and we found an old piece of bamboo about 1 1/2 feet wide.  Perfect.  I tossed, he ran.  He didn’t bring it back.  It took about 5 minutes to teach him that a stick worked like a ball.

Charlie With His Stick

Charlie After Stick

It was a lovely winter afternoon at the beach.  There were a few dogs and a few surfers and that was about it.

Buddina Beach

Now where was I?   Oh yes, at Lake Kawana with Deb.  We ordered coffee and with it we had some fruit bread with lemon curd.  Why they call it fruit bread when it’s nothing but raisin or sultana bread I don’t know but maybe it just sounds classier.  It was a perfect Sunday breakfast by the lake.

I got up this morning thinking that maybe I should make it for John.  He doesn’t have a very large sweet tooth but every once in a while something hits and he’s happy to dig in.  One of those days was today.

Lemon Curd

I made a lovely raisin bread that I got from Nick Malgieri that was really delicious.  Then I made the now famous lemon curd from Cafe Terra Blog and Big Fat Baker.  I love this stuff. When I was in the states we called it lemon butter but whatever the name, I can’t get enough.  The only thing I did differently was to make it in my Thermomix.  I know that’s probably cheating but seriously it takes no time at all.

Lemon Curd Made in a Thermomix

This recipe is a dump everything in the machine, set to 90°C for 7 minutes and bam, it’s done.  Put it in jars a let it cool, then keep it in the fridge IF there is any left to keep in the fridge.

    And this bread – oh my god – this bread looks super delicious – if not more!
    And the curd is creamy perfection – sorry nutella I got something else to spoon now 😉

      Hope you make the lemon curd – you’ll thank me.

      Julie, a Thermomix is a kitchen gadget that’s been around for 20 years or more but isn’t sold in the US. It’s available in Europe, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and probably other places but those are where I’ve made friends who use it. Heaps of chefs use it for sauces because it chops, whips, grinds (mills) AND it cooks and stirs so you can saute something without having to move it around. It also has a steamer thing for the top so you can make a sauce or stew on the bottom and steam the veggies on top. I love it.

      Thermomix doesn’t sell in the US and I have no idea why but if/when they do, everyone should buy one. Or you can drive to Canada and buy one. I wasn’t sure I would use it enough to warrant the expense – they aren’t cheap – but now I’d sell the neighbor kids’ toys to get one if mine died. LOL It chops, whips, mills flour, mixes, kneads, sautes, steams, boils and probably other things I haven’t learned to do yet.

I had some lemons hang in off my tree right now just waiting to be plucked, so perhaps I’ll be making some lemon curd today 🙂

      Good idea! I went back to take photos because I have quite a few American friends and I get, “what does ordinary life look like over there?” As if somehow we have unpaved streets and ride kangaroos. 🙂 We drive on the left, play a lot of cricket and other Australians have accents but really, that’s the only difference.

Hey, does Australia even have mums (as in the fall flowers)? Just a random question. OK, ANYWAY, this is an interesting combination I wouldn’t have thought of!

    The curd does looks silky smooth, between that result and it being a time saver I need to look into getting a thermomix. Your plating does look like a great breakfast for me, sometimes a light meal like this really hits the spot. Enjoy the day!

    I gotta make that lemon curd someday. I love lemon, I know it’s a great recipe – but I’ve been too stinkin’ lazy to do it. But I will. I always enjoy reading about your cooking with the Thermomix. They aren’t widely available in the US (at least I don’t think they are – maybe I’m just out of the loop). The concept is interesting, though. Sounds like a fun machine. Good post – thanks.

    Great recipes. But I am too lzy to fdo that much work….machines and all; which I don’t have in any event.
    But loved the pictures of the cafe on Lake Kawana, the beach, but especially Charlie. He is so cute. Just darling. And the story about having to teach him a stick and ball can both be fetched is a hoot.

    You should write more about non cooking topics. You are very good. 🙂

    I love, love raisin bread and will have to check out Nick Malgieri’s recipe. I have some lemon curd in the freezer (just made it for the first time about a month ago), but I do want to try this recipe next time. It looks so creamy and delicious. Your photos are beautiful and so is your dog, Charlie.

    Sounds like a perfect day at the beach to me! I’m going to have to check out this Thermomix, sounds like a wonderful machine! Just pop everything in and a few minutes later, lemony goodness.

    Wow! This recipe/foodie website is the best!!! The recipes are orgasmic and I love the
    real world layout and story delivered with each recipe. I cant’t wait to try so any of these recipes; where do I begin…..I think with those beautiful sausage biscuits and the chicken,
    pistachio gargonzola recipes. Thank you so very much for you all the work you put into
    creating this wonderful website.

    Best of luck !
