Line base and sides of deep 8 inch cake pan with plastic wrap.

Grease a crepe pan or small, heavy-bottomed nonstick frying pan and place over high heat. Add 2 tbsp batter to pan, tilting pan to coat base evenly. Cook over low heat, loosening edge with spatula, until crepe is browned lightly. Flip over and brown other side. Remove from pan. Repeat with remaining batter to make 12 crepes.
Combine lemon zest, lemon juice, sugar, butter and remaining eggs in a large, heatproof bowl. Place bowl over a large saucepan of simmering water. Cook, stirring, for 15 mins, or until lemon curd coats the back of a spoon. Add bloomed gelatin and gently heat until dissolved. Strain into a clean bowl.
Place a crepe in prepared pan then spread 1/4 cup lemon curd over top. Repeat layering with remaining crepes and curd, finishing with a crepe layer. Cover and refrigerate overnight, or until firm. Decorate with candied lemon zest.
