Re: Great idea! One question...

Misc.
Meringues

2 egg whites
pinch of salt
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

Have egg whites at room temp.
Combine egg whites, salt and cream of tartar in a medium mixing bowl; beat at high speed with electric mixer until foamy. Gradually add sugar, beating until stiff peaks form. Stir in vanilla. Prepare a baking sheet by placing a sheet of unglzed brownpaper on it. Either pipe with pastry bag or drop by teaspoon, 24 1 inch circle to form base. With a star shaped tip, witih a 1/4 inch opening, on your pastry bag, pipe a circle of the stars around the edge of each base. Bake ata 225 degrees for 1 hour and 15 minutes; turn oven off and let cool in oven 2 hours or overnight without peeking. Carefully remove meringues from paper; store in a airtight container up to 1 week. Fill with desired filling and serve. Fillings should not set in shells too long before serving. This is a pretty small meringue. You may use the same method only making them the size you want. Also you might want to serve 2 as a serving with 2 different fillings. One more thing, you can add about 2 teaspons cocoa to the beaten egg whites if you want a chocolate merginue. This is such a low fat dessert with so many possibilites for how to use that I have used it often. If you real creative and good with a pastry bag, you can make some wonderful designs; I have see the shells made into swans but that is beyond me and my patience! Good luck and I hope you enjoy
