Gogol Mogol

Did you like yolks and sugar (“gogol-mogol” in Russian) when you were a child? I loved it greatly. The most difficult was separate egg-white from the yolk. One careless motion - and egg goes for the dull omelette, but not to the sweet dessert. I remember, as if this was yesterday, we with my sister (at age of five and three, respectively) spoiled three eggs contract and remained without the sweet. That was a real tragedy!

Probably, after recalling these children's tears, one kind designer devised a remarkable device to separate egg yolks. The secret is simple - it is only necessary to determine the right diameter of the opening to pour out egg-white. The brilliance of this invention is in the form of its realization. Even without focus- groups you know - children will adore this toy! How about "Pinocchio” version? Unfortunately, I got this picture by roundabout way and I do not know from what site it is taken. If someone sends me the name of the brilliant inventor of this device, I will place the appropriate reference without fail.

For those, who want to experience the sensations of happy childhood again, I give the recipe from RussianFoods.com

Mysteriously named Gogol’-Mogol’ is a deliciously rich and sweet dessert reminiscent of eggnog, made of raw egg yolks beaten with sugar, lemon juice, and cognac. It’s considered the best remedy for a singer’s sore throat. Without cognac, it can be served to children.

Combine raw egg yolks and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat at low speed for 1 minute. With a rubber spatula, scrape up any sugar that may have stuck to the bottom of the bowl. Beat for 10 seconds more, gradually turning to maximum speed, then beat for 3-4 minutes, or until the mixture is pale yellow and thick. Add the brandy, liqueur, lemon juice, and grated rind of 2 lemons, and beat at maximum speed for 4 minutes, or until the mixture is very thick. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or more, up to 2-3 hours.

Ingredients
12 egg yolks, raw.
9 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons brandy
2 teaspoons orange liqueur
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (optional).
