How many ways can you combine eggs and sugar? I made an angel food cake this weekend, which called for six egg whites. My grandma’s glaze for it called for 2 yolks…what to do with the rest? Crème brûlée.
Angel food cake: egg whites, sugar, flour.
Angel food glaze: powdered sugar, butter and water.
Crème brûlée: egg yolks, sugar and cream.

Glaze for the cake:
- 3-4 Tablespoons butter or marg.
- 3 Cups powdered sugar (sifted)
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
- 3 Tablespoons milk.
I used water and not milk, seemed fine. Didn’t need even half of it though for the small 20cm cake.
