Whoo hoo, wow I just made this sponge. I have never been able to make sponges, turned out great and was yummy.
I was once given a recipe for a fool proof sponge, and yes you guessed it, I'm a fool. lol
But not now. :-)
Edited to say 15mins in my oven was enough for bake time.

Use the egg yolks to make a curd-type topping for on the pavlovas - although I haven't actually done this myself I have enjoyed both orange and lemon curd toppings on pavlovas.
Use the egg yolks for crumbing schnitzels, chicken, fish, etc.

Hope that helps. :-))

Custard or anything that uses custard works well - ice-cream, creme brulee - I made a pav last weekend and used the yolks to make crema catalana, which is a Spanish creme brulee. Recipe is here: http://www.mrscake.co.nz/2010/11/crema-catalana.html

You could just have it as very rich custard without the burnt top if you wanted, too (though I love the crunchy sugar)

ICE CREAM
8 Egg Yolks
3 cups Thick Cream
¾ cup Sugar
pinch of salt
1 cup Baileys
1 tblspn Vanilla Essence
Fresh Grated Nutmeg ( Ground Nutmeg is okay )
Method
• Lightly beat Egg Yolks in a very large non-corrosive preferably stainless steel saucepan
• Add 2 cups of Cream, Sugar and Salt to the beaten yolks and mix well
• Set the saucepan over medium heat and stir the custard frequently until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 180 degrees)
• Immediately remove the saucepan from the heat and strain the mixture through a fine strainer into a medium bowl and set over ice. 5. Add the Bailey’s to the custard with the remaining cream
• Stir together
• Refrigerate for several hours or overnight then put into the freezer.

The following are a selection of ideas I picked up from other members postings and saved:

Foodtown magazine ZABAGLIONE -uses 6 egg yolks at a time!!

Into the top of a double boiler put in:
6 yolks
6T caster sugar
1t vanilla essence
1/2c dry marsala or dry sherry.

Whisk for about 10 mins until thick and frothy (when drizzled should fall in ribbons and thickly coat the back of a spoon). Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.

Serve warm or chilled. They show it served like mousse in glasses, but also suggest pouring over cakes or icecream! Sounds delish! posted by bisloy

LEMON HONEY [microwaved].

1 cup sugar
100g butter
grated rind of 1 lemon
juice of 3 lemons, 1 egg + 3 egg yolks.

Put the butter, sugar, rind and juice into a little jug and cook on HIGH/100% power for 1-2 minutes, until the sugar has dissolved. Mix and gradually add to beaten egg and egg yolks, stirring well. Return the mixture to the jug and cook on MEDIUM/50% power, stirring every minute until the mixture thickens, 3-5 minutes. The mixture will thicken more as it cools.
Store in the refrigerator.

This one from Sarah Turpitt, kam04? The recipe can be found at:-
http://waikatofood.blogspot.co.nz/ - scroll down to May 10.....

CUSTARD TART (aka Torte del Nonna)
A traditional custard tart studded with toasted nuts. Delicious served with natural yoghurt hung overnight in a muslin lined sieve - this removes excess whey creating a rich, creamy accompaniment.

Pastry:
300g butter
500g flour
200g sugar
4 egg yolks
zest of 1 lemon

Rub the butter into the flour and sugar, then make a well in the centre and add the egg yolks and lemon zest. Work the ingredients together until to make a smooth, soft pastry dough. Wrap the pastry in clingfilm and rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Custard:
500ml milk
1 fresh vanilla pod or 1 tsp vanilla paste
4 egg yolks
125g sugar
2 tbsp flour
100g pine nuts, lightly toasted
a handful of raw almonds, to decorate

Split open the vanilla pod, scrape out the seeds and infuse in a saucepan with the milk.
Beat the egg yolks with the sugar until light and frothy. Add the flour and beat well.
Remove the vanilla pod from the milk, then add the milk gradually, beating constantly with a whisk. Slowly reheat, stirring constantly, until quite thick. Cover with clingfilm pressed on to the surface, and allow to cool, then add the toasted pine nuts to the cooled custard.
To assemble:- Divide the pastry in two and roll out one half to the size of a greased 30cm tart dish (approximately 1cm thickness). Pour on the custard. Roll out the remaining pastry and place on top of the custard, closing the pie. Decorate with the almonds.
Bake at 170°C for 40 minutes, until the pastry is golden and the almonds toasted.
Leave to cool and dust with icing sugar. :-))

easier - raw yolk mixed into pasta or rice or as a yolk dip with meats. to assist the batter when doing fish and chips.

Marlborough food writer Jan Bilton tested this recipe from a Christchurch cafe for The Foodtown Magazine.

Meshino's custard square (vanilla slice)

2 sheets puff pastry

1 1/2 cups each: milk, cream

60g butter

1 teaspoon pure vanilla essence

3/4 cup sugar

1/2 cup each: cornflour, water

6 egg yolks

Icing sugar

Preheat the oven to 180°C.

Bring the milk, cream, butter, vanilla essence and sugar to a simmer in a saucepan. Combine the cornflour and the water to make a smooth paste. Stir into the milk mixture together with the egg yolks. Stir over low heat, until thick. Cool completely.

Line an 18cm x 18cm cake pan with plastic film. Trim the cooked pastry sheets to fit the cake pan. Place one sheet on the base. Spread the filling over the pastry. Top with the second sheet of pastry. Refrigerate overnight. Slice and serve dusted with icing sugar.

Makes 8 pieces.

Personally, I like custard square with a thin glazed icing and sprinkled with coconut.

Worth giving it a try. I cannot stand that bright yellow gelatinous custard you see with some custard squares, so hopefully the one above will be ok.

Yolks don't freeze well. They just become a big lump. If you want to freeze them, beat them with a little milk and either sugar or salt, and then you can actually cook with them.
