I have 4 egg yolks - and yes, I apologize in advance for being lazy and
not
doing a google. Just wondering how I can use them. Not hollaindaise
though. They will probably only last another day or so - or will they?
I
made choc. chip meringues on Saturday so maybe they're even toast now!

The following recipe uses three yolks. Just make the filling and call
it pudding.

OK, I'm laughing because I'm using my 3 of my 4 egg yolks for this delicious
looking recipe. But guess what -- I also have to use 3 egg whites. So ---
I still have 3 yolks left!

Thanks anyway:-)

But it starts the clock over. (use the fresh yolks for mayonnaise or
eggnog.)

If you have a 10" pie plate, you can use all 4 yolks -- and up
everything else in the recipe approxinately 33%.

Sponge cake. (You'll need some more yolks, iirc)
