I adopted this recipe from the 'orphan recipes' list. And I'm so glad I did! They're great! Ingredients:
1 cup sugar |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
3 egg whites |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
1 teaspoon vinegar |
1 teaspoon water |
fresh strawberries, sliced |
Directions:
1. Sift the sugar with the baking powder and salt.
2. Combine vanilla, vinegar and water.
3. Add the sugar, 1/2 t at time, to the egg whites, alternating with a few drops of water mixture, beating constantly.
4. When all sugar and water are mixed in, continue to beat for several minutes.
5. Place large spoonfuls on parchment-lined baking sheet and shape into shallow cups.
6. Bake at 225F for 45 min to 1 hours You need to bake them for a long time for them to be really DRY, otherwise the meringues will turn out soggy. Make sure they're crisp and dry before removing from oven. If they're browning too quickly, transfer them to the lowest rack and turn down temp to 200°F.
7. Remove the meringues from the sheet quickly and cool them on rack.
8. Fill with sliced strawberries and serve. If you like you may also fill the cups with whipped cream or ice cream (I used chocolate) before topping them with strawberries.
