1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease and flour a 9x9 inch brownie tray.
2. With whisk attachment on the stand mixer, mix sugar, flour and baking soda at medium speed.
3.  Get two cereal bowls out. In one, crack egg and beat with a fork.
4. In a saucepan, heat curd on medium heat until it breaks down.
