Egg Threads

Strain the egg yolks through a wire mesh

Add the vanilla

Combine the sugar and water over low heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves

Using a funnel or piping bag, place the egg yolks onto the hot syrup in a thread-like shape

Just before removing the threads from the syrup, splash with a little cold water

Place the threads into a colander lined with cheesecloth that has been wet

Before making new threads, allow the syrup to come to a boil again

When the syrup is becoming too thick, add a little more water

Once the threads are ready, open them up using two forks and place onto a serving dish

If desired, brush with a little of the syrup
