I'm making cupcakes (coconut and raspberry) that have taken five egg whites in the recipe. I now have five egg yolks in a bowl, at a loose end.

What can I make with egg yolks, other than a very yellow omelette? Does anyone have any ideas please?

Thank you. I may try the ice cream idea actually. I'm really not keen on creme brulee, but maybe that's because I've never made it, so maybe I should try. I'll have a think and do something tomorrow.

Egg whites freeze quite happily so you can decide at your leisure.

Friands are lovely and very easy. I like to put sliced plums on top before they go in the oven.

Sorry, I read that the wrong way - well, it is late! Do try the friands though.

You can make and egg yolk sponge or how about lemon curd which is always handy for fillings.

Slightly off topic but has anyone noticed that some egg yolks are really pale these days?

Some homemade mayonaise, or hollandaise sauce? Tastes much better than the stuff in the jar

The colour depends upon the diet of the hen. A diet of plants containing levels of yellow/orange pigment will produce a yellow yolk. Conversely, a diet where no yellow/orange pigmented plants are eaten can produce a colourless yolk.

Artificially enhancing the yolk through additives fed to the hen I think is now banned.
