Transforming Leftover Egg Yolks into Delicious Dishes
Why Use Egg Yolks? Egg yolks are packed with fat, protein, and emulsifiers that enhance the texture and taste of many dishes. When you bake macarons, the recipe calls for egg whites only, leaving the yolks unused—and to some extent, unloved! Instead of ditching them, reduce your food waste and use your yolks to create creamy sauces, unctuous custards, zesty curds, and fabulous baked goods. Creamy Custards and Puddings One of the best ways to use egg yolks is in custards and p

Real Lemon Meringue Macarons
Pretty yellow macarons filled with a creamy, sweet and sharp lemon filling - perfect for Easter. "Lemon meringue" is one of the simplest macaron flavours to make, but it does depend on really good quality lemon curd if it is to be truly delicious. As a thrifty baker I prefer not to waste the egg yolks that are a “by-product” of macaron-making, and lemon curd is an obvious, and useful, way of using them up. However, there are lots of different recipes and techniques for lemon
