1. Beat yolks until they form a ribbon when poured. Empty into a square, shallow pan greased with butter. Place the pan in another containing water and bake in a moderate oven, until eggs are firm. Cool and cut into small squares.
2. In a saucepan boil the sugar and cinnamon in 1 cup of water, for 5 minutes. Add the egg squares and let simmer on low heat so that they are saturated with the syrup. Lift squares carefully with a skimmer and arrange in a deep dish. Strain the syrup, add the sherry and pour over the squares. Decorate with almonds, pine nuts and raisins.
