You don’t have to worry about separating the egg whites from the egg yolks, most purposes for tempering use the entire egg after it has been cracked and whisked. Like in this delicious banana cream pie recipe or creamy rice pudding.
What Does Tempered Eggs Mean?
Tempered Eggs is simply a process of slowly warming the eggs before introducing them to your recipe so they mix smoothly. Example: If you have a hot pot of milk and stir in eggs, you’ll end up with little scrambled egg bits in the milk instead of a smooth mixture. If you add a little bit of the hot milk to the eggs while whisking, you will bring the temperature up slowly so they will mix smoothly into your milk.
Why Do You Temper Eggs?
Tempering eggs allows for a natural thickening of a recipe allowing a bit of savory or sweet flavor. Be sure to work slowly and don’t skip steps in order to keep the eggs from actually cooking.
