Spun egg made by ourselves

This Christmas we are going to allow ourselves the luxury of making the spun egg ourselves, which in the market is at a somewhat high price for this time when, although we spend more than necessary, we cannot stop looking at our pockets.

We believe that the spun egg, by its appearance in perfect strands, seems that it is difficult to make. Nothing could be further from the truth, the only thing more daring we have to use is a syringe. The egg threads are coagulated by the action of the heat of a syrup in which it cooks for a short time.

Before going to the recipe, we will tell you that the spun egg it is mostly used as part of appetizers. Su sweet and smooth taste, goes well with cheeses, patés, smoked meats, cakes and above all cold cuts like ham. But since we love to experiment, nothing detracts from the fact that we can use it in more than one dessert, after all it is a sweet preparation.

Ingredients

• Yolks 5
• 300 g sugar
• 1 dl of water water

Preparation

1. Boil the sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat until it makes thick bubbles and has a string point, that is, a thick texture that makes it elastic and sticky when we take a little bit of syrup with our fingers.

2. In this syrup, we are adding with the help of a large syringe the beaten and strained yolks.

3. We distribute the yolks in the syrup in a spiral, they will curdle in ten seconds.

4. We take them out with the slotted spoon and transfer them to a container with cold water with ice.

5. Then we dry them on absorbent paper. We repeat the same operation with another egg spiral.
