Lifted
What it is
Protein and fat together, coloured by carotenoids. Dried, it forms a glossy crust with a yellow halo soaked into the threads.
How fast it sets
Fast. Hours, not days.
Lift with
Enzyme
protease + amylase
How we lift it
- Scrape off the crust with a blunt knife.
- Cold water and an enzyme soak for the protein.
- Washing-up liquid for the fat; the colour follows.
Never
Hot water first: the white cooks and the yolk sets.
