Loyal blog readers will know how many pavlovas I have made in the past month. I haven't kept count but it is a lot! A byproduct of making pavlova is having left over egg yolks. Andrew thinks this is a good thing because then he gets custards, creme brulees and homemade ice cream. Unfortunately for him there are not enough hours in the day for me to be constantly making desserts. So imagine my delight to discover a carton of egg whites in the refrigerated section of Walmart. The ingredients are: egg whites. 100%! Nothing added. Nothing taken away. The only downside is that they are pasteurised. On a taste test it is impossible to tell which pavlova is from fresh eggs and which from the carton (must be all that sugar and cream). It is a great time saving to have the eggs ready to go. And by the way there are 8 egg whites in the carton the perfect number for a large pavlova. Tuesday, 21 August 2007

How neat is that! Although the pasteurised thing is not necessarily a downside. Having been recently pregnant and unable to eat raw eggs (and hence yummy things like tiramisu, homemade choc mousse, aioli etc) I was very jealous to read that you can actually buy pasteurised fresh eggs in America...
You could also use them to make friands!
