Finely grate the yellow rind of the lemons and squeeze the juice. Beat the egg yolks well. Mix the lemon zest, lemon juice, granulated sugar, salt, and egg yolks in a sauce pan.
Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens. When it reaches a thick consistency, remove it from the stove and add the butter.
Keep stirring until the butter melts. Stir the lemon curd from time to time to cool it to room temperature and prevent it from forming a crust.
Strain the cream into a medium glass jar by pressing it into a strainer. You can keep it closed in the refrigerator for 6-7 days.
