For two to three servings use:
7 pastured egg yolks
2 teaspoons local honey
1 teaspoon vanilla
First separate the yolks from the egg whites and place all the yolks in a blender or stand up mixer. The whites can be used later for meringue cookies.
Blend on the lowest speed until the yolks turn a soft yellow, whitish color, and become thick (emulsified). This usually takes roughly 20 minutes.
If using a mixer, use a medium speed for roughly 20 minutes. With a mixer, the mixture will be fluffier.
