Egg yolks?!
I made a gorgeous strawberry Pavlova earlier, but I am now left with 4 egg yolks!. I don't want to just throw them away and apart from egg custard I don't really know what to do with them!. Does anyone have any nice ideas - sweet or savoury!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

the tastiest authentic spaghetti cabonara!!!
on a low flame, dry fry some pancheta or fatty, bacony, porky goodness, until the meat is crispy and all the fat has been rendered out, DO NOT THROW THE FAT AWAY, there is so much flavor in the fat and it will help to create the sauce, boil some pasta, add the pasta to the bacon then in another bowl mix the egg yolks with a big heap of Parmesan cheese add the pasta and bacon to the egg and cheese and mix quickly to stop the eggs scrambling, if its to thick then add some pasta water!. so quick and simple but so very, very tasty! enjoy!!!Www@FoodAQ@Com

2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 (slightly rounded - not quite ?) teaspoon salt
2 sticks (8 oz) unsalted butter (if you use salted butter, use only ? tsp!. salt), softened
2 cups, scant, granulated sugar
3/4 teaspoon good vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
3 egg yolks
Thoroughly stir together first three ingredients!. If you have time, sift them!. I didn’t and the cookies turned out fine!. Stir in the salt!.
In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar!. Beat in the vanilla and lemon zest, then one by one, beat in the egg yolks!.
Slowly stir in the flour mixture!. When mixture is well mixed, form into 1 inch balls and place balls about 2 inches apart on a non-stick or parchment lined cookie sheet!. Bake at 350 F for 10-12 minutes or until the cookies start to brown around the edges!. Mine took about 12 minutes to brown!. Let cool on cookie sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
