Grandma Elsie made these often. I remembered I thought they were Styrofoam when I was a kid-until I tried on of course! Ingredients:
3 egg whites, room temperature |
1/2 teaspoon almond extract |
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar |
1 dash salt |
1 cup powdered sugar, sifted |
1 cup sour cream (or vanilla ice cream!) |
40 strawberries |
Directions:
1. Combine egg whites, almond extract, cream of tartar and salt.
2. Add sugar, one tablespoon at a time, beating until glossy and stiff peaks form.
3. Drop by tablespoons onto a cookie sheet covered with brown paper. Using the back of the spoon, make a small depression in each meringue tart.
4. Bake 45 minutes at 250°F Then turn the oven off and leave tarts in the oven with the door closed for one hour (longer if they are not cool and/or crispy). Cool away from drafts.
5. Place on tsp sour cream into each tart and top with berries. You can substitute vanilla ice cream for a more filling dessert.
