PASTRY
1/2 lb Puff Pastry **

2 lg Egg yolks
2 ts Mustard, Dijon

For the pastry cornets:
Roll the pastry out onto a lightly floured work surface to 3" x
20" rectangle, 1/4" thick. Cut the rectangle into 4 long strips, each
3/4" wide.
Wrap each strip around a long metal cone (which can be made from

around and around, overlapping slightly. Place these on an ungreased
baking sheet and refrigerate for 1 hour or more.
Preheat oven to 375 F.
Bake pastry cornets until golden, about 15 minutes.
Cool briefly, then very carefully the metal or foil cones.
For the lemon dressing:
Combine the egg yolks, mustard, lemon juice, and salt and pepper.
Whisk in the oil a drop at a time. When the dressing begins to
thicken, add the oil 1 teaspoon at a time, then continue adding oil in
a thin stream.
Adjust seasonings to taste.
Cook the asparagus, tied in bundles, in boiling salted water
until it's just crisp-tender; drain.
Construction:
Pour a small amount of dressing on each serving plate.
Place a cornet on top of the dressing and tuck the asparagus into
the ends of the cornet, fanning the tips outward.
