Hello. I actually saw this same ? in another topic and there were lots of answers of what to do w/egg yolks, but I can't find it right now. Hope someone will remember that thread. Someone said use it for your face if dry. That's all I can remember.

But I did a search on Google and came up with this link only:

Homemade icecream, douhgnuts, some traditional breads,...

Because of the homemade icecream I usually have the vice-versa problem...

thanks shelbysyummys


those all sound so ........complicated im sure there not because if you asked me a couple years ago how to make cakes like these I would have said get out of here..........

anyone else want to jump in im so intrigued now!!!

custards, pastry creams, Hollandaise sauce

I use them to make a sabayon (zabaglione) and then from there to a Tira Misu

There's a great recipe for butter pound cake in the Whimsical Bakehouse cookbook that calls for just yolks. It's sooo yummy!

I add them to scrambled eggs.

I've used them in traditional buttercream that calls for all yolks and a yellow cake recipe. Both recipes are in the Cake Bible.

Make Creme Brulees out of them...

Has anyone had success freezing them?

I scramble them up for my kids, they are small and need the extra fat!

I also use egg yolk in lemon pie filling. Lots of pie fillings call for an extra yolk. I bet I could use pie filling to fill a cake! Hmmm, I will have to explore that further.

Hey, send them to me. LOL I have lots of cake and cookie and creme anglaise recipes that call for yolks. Oh, that's an idea. You could make trifle with creme anglaise and use yolks up pretty quickly. Won't the healthy fruit in the trifle balance all the bad fat in the yolks? HaHa (Well, I can wish)

I have frozen egg yolks. As long as you add either a bit of sugar or a bit of salt it seems to work more or less OK

Not your problem obviously, but I have 4 jars of whites in my freezer and always use the dried whites in my iciing. I keep thinking I have to pasteurize all those frosen whites and use them, but the dried are sooooo easy......

Teehee. I always knew I was the opposite of everyone else here. I'm even saving the wrong parts of the egg LOL!

Shalom,
itsacake!

Yumm, Make Ice cream... IF you are thinking of freezing the yolks anyway
You can also make creme brulee and keep it in the freezer for unexpected guests.
I have never tried freezing the yolks by themselves..

...I scramble them and give them to our dog for a treat!

LOL Sorry, I know I just helped no one! But that's what I really do!

thats funny parismom............i would have to say so far thats the most original idea for the egg yolks!!
