Tips:

- For a creamier curd, use high-quality butter and let it soften to room temperature before creaming it with the sugar. - Don't overcook the curd, or it will become thick and grainy. - If you don't have a double boiler, you can make the curd in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water. - Be sure to strain the curd through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps. - For a gluten-free version of the squares, use gluten-free flour. - For a vegan version of the squares, use vegan butter and milk.
