Okay, I have gone to Winn Dixie, Publix, Walmart supermarkets and can't find the darn egg yolks. I want to buy them in a container just like you buy the egg whites.
where do you get yours? I am dying to try a few recipes from "The Cake Bible" book by Rose Levy Beranbaum and can't until I get the egg yolks.
I am trying her Pound Cake recipe for Father's day (among other things )....
I've only ever seen egg replacements (like whole eggs) or egg whites. I've never seen just egg yolks. Can't you use real egg yolks?

Yes, I could, but this recipe I have is just for using egg yolks and I hate to have to figure out what to do with egg whites every time.
I wonder, can I freeze egg whites? Maybe I can them use them on Italian Meringe Buttercream??
Okay, I got an answer to my own question.
I CAN freeze egg whites and use them within a year....
Cool!
I took this paragraph from this link: http://whatscookingamerica.net/Eggs/FreezingEgg.htm
"Egg Whites: Raw egg whites do not suffer from freezing (cooked egg whites are very rubbery). No salt or sugar is needed. Break and separate the eggs one at a time, making sure that no yolk gets into the whites. Pour into trays and freeze until firm. Label the container with the date and the number of egg whites. Use up extra egg whites in boiled frostings (i.e., 7-minute frosting), meringue cookies, angel food cake, white cakes, or meringue for pies. "
Yes, you can freeze egg whites or egg yolks. Put them individually in the cups of a plastic ice tray, freeze and when frozen, pop them out into a ziplock bag or a container. Just count out how many you need and defrost and use.
Good Luck!
