My recipe says to mix the eggs until thick and lemon in color. I have a KA 6qt. 11 minutes later (recipe says 3 minutes) they are still egg yellow, runny & slighty foamy. I started it on 3 after 8 minutes I reduced speed to 2. Please tell me what I'm doing wrong!!!!!!
Thank-You,

Maybe the recipe is suppose to say beat the eggs AND THE SUGAR until thick and lemon colour.

and how many eggs??

a 6qt KA doesn't handle one or two eggs very well....need to be in the 4 to 6 egg range.

and ditto on the sugar comment.

(may have to break out ::gasp -- the horror:: hand mixer!)

It was for 3 eggs. I threw out the first eggs 23 minutes and still no color change or thickening. Actually the recipe tells you to add the sugar mixture to the flour and sift. I also did not use the whisk attachment! icon_redface.gif I always forget about that!
