Egg-yolks
Ingredients:
- 20
egg-yolks ;
- 2
egg-whites ;
- 500
grs of sugar ;
- 3
dl of water
Preparation:
Separate
the yolks from the whites and pass the yolks through a sieve together
with the two egg-whites which have been cut with a knife.
Meanwhile, a solution of sugar and hot water is prepared; let it boil
until it forms a thin stream when it is dripped from a spoon.
Continuing to boil, add the egg-yolks (already passed through the
sieve), pouring them through a special funnel with three spouts.
Hold the shaft off the funnel with the right hand and describe slow,
circular motions so that the egg threads do not brake and so that they
cook in the solution.
The higher the level from which you pour the egg-yolk threads, the
thinner they will be.
As soon as the funnel is empty, take the deep pan off the stove,
add a little water and take out the egg-yolk threads with a skimming ladle,
placing them on a wet plate. Place the sugar-and-water solution on the
flame once again and keep doing that until there is no more egg-yolks.
