Using up egg yolks.

I have 6 yolks to use up after making a pavlova, what can I make with them?

Thinking of using 2 for some lovely vanilla oat shortbread I've made in the past but need some inspiration for the others please!

Lemon curd

Mayonnaise, I'm trying to find yellow cakes recipes mainly us but nothing so far appeals. I've got the same problem.

Some kind of curd, lemon, orange, lime etc.

Fresh pasta.

Zabaglione - an Italian dessert made with egg yolks, Marsala wine and sugar.

Now I'm stuck and have run out of ideas!

I often use them in cheese straws and scones, with a little splash of milk to even the mixture out.

Custard tarts!

You can freeze egg yolks.
Mix in a pinh of sugar, or a pinch of salt, mix gentle, and freeze, having noted if sweet or savoury.

Many of my biscuit recipies use just a yolk.

Custard or quiche?

FuckingFuck · 08/04/2014 10:55

Oh thank you all for your suggestions!

Might do some lemon curd and orange curd to give family as Easter gifts Smile

I always tend to stick to same recipes so was having trouble thinking of what to use them for but these are great ideas.

Now I will have the opposite problem as I want to try all these things!

Just thought you should know so you don't have an excess in unused yolks again. You can buy in Tesco, Waitrose and Sainsbury's (don't know about anywhere else) by the fresh pastry and butter aisles, cartons of just egg white called Two Chicks. Bloody marvellous stuff!

FuckingFuck · 08/04/2014 11:32

Oh thanks Atbeckandcall that's really handy to know!

I tried those egg whites in a carton so disappointed with the meringues I followed the instructions. Would have been great if it had worked.

They are a bit different, have a look online for The Meringue Girls recipe on how to get smashing meringues.
I've got their book and it's great.
