Guest guest Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 Macaroon Meringues The results are outstanding. Meringues 1-3/4 cups sugar 1 tsp cornstarch 8 egg whites 2 tsp almond extract 1 tsp vanilla extract 6 oz toasted coconut To make the Meringues: Preheat the oven to 200F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment and trace 3" diameter circles on the paper. Combine the sugar and corn starch. Put the egg whites in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat on High until they foam. Slowly add the sugar mixture and almond and vanilla extracts while continuing to beat. Beat until stiff peaks form. Fold in toasted Coconut Put the meringue in a pastry bag fitted with a plain 1/2" tip and pipe meringue into the traced circles in a tight spiral, filling the circles. Smooth with a spatula. Bake until dried, 1-1/2 to 2 hours. If the meringues begin to brown, reduce the heat to 150 F. Turn the oven off and leave the pans on the rack to cool and finish drying overnight. 2nd Day: When cool, trim 1/2" from the diameter and flatten the top of the meringue discs with a knife so the meringues will be flat when stacked. -- Chet "To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public".
