Egg yolk in pastry provides richness, flavor, and tenderness due to its fat content. It also contributes to the golden color and helps with browning during baking. Additionally, egg yolks act as emulsifiers, helping to bind ingredients together and create a smooth texture in pastries.

What is the function of the chalaza of the egg?

The chalaza in an egg is a rope-like, white "thing" that you might find in a scrambled or fried egg. If you look carefully, you can see it in a raw egg. What is does is it stabilizes or suspends the yolk, so that in a fresh egg the yolk floats in the middle of the albumin (egg white). When candling an egg, one thing you look for is that the yolk of an older egg will be near the shell and definitely visible. In a freshly laid egg, the you see a "shadow" of the yolk, and as you twirl the egg, the chalaza keeps the yolk in the center and away from the shell.
