CAN'T FAIL MARSHMALLOW MERINGUE

1/4 lb marshmallows
1 tbsp milk
1/2 tsp vanilla
2 egg whites
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup sugar

Cut marshmallows in quarters if large and cook with milk in saucepan over low heat, folding over and over until marshmallows are melted down to 1/2 their original size. Remove from heat.

Add vanilla and continue folding until mixture is smooth yet lightly spongy.

Beat egg whites until stiff. Add salt and sugar slowly, beating constantly. Carefully fold in slightly warm marshmallow mixture. Pile on pie, pudding, or cake.

Place under broiler 3-inches from heat until meringue is a delicate brown.
