    another literal translation aside from heavenly bacon is "lard of heaven"...

    clue? *grin*

    I found this recipe from:
    http://scentofgreenbananas.blogspot.com/2005/06/imbb-16-tocino-de-cielo.html

    tocino de cielo

    25 egg yolks
    1 kilo (5 cups) of white sugar
    2-3 cups of water

    combine sugar and water in a saucepan; boil the sugar syrup until it reaches soft-ball stage. set aside all but 1/2 to 1 cup of the syrup to cool. continue cooking the smaller amount of syrup until it has caramelized. pour the caramelized sugar into individual molds or pan, and coat the bottoms evenly.

    beat the egg yolks in a large bowl, then pour the syrup in a steady stream, whisking it thoroughly into the eggs. make sure the sugar syrup has completely cooled, or you risk cooking the eggs or ending up with a gloopy, clumpy mess. strain the mixture into the molds or pan, then steam or cook in a bain-marie for 20 to 25 minutes. cool before unmolding.


    isn't this bee-yoo-ti-fulll?

    Tita Lou, when you look at it, it reminds you of leche flan but mga less than 2 inch sizes :-)

    Looks like leche flan, reminds you of leche flan but cannot be leche flan because it has no cream or milk.

    So what do you do with the leftover egg whites? Make a meringue or an egg white omelet.
