- 5. Dredge cakes in flour, egg whites and bread crumbs and deep fry at 350u0b0F until golden brown.
- 6. Make herb salad by combining the curly endive, chives, arugula and chervil. Season with salt, olive oil and lemon juice if desired.
- 1. Combine egg yolks, cranberry juice, dry mustard, brown sugar, vinegar, salt, cayenne pepper and Worcestershire sauce.
- 2. Over a double boiler, heat the mixture while whisking constantly. Allow the mixture to thicken to ribbon texture (approximately 15 minutes). Before serving, fold in the cherries.
