we are taking a lot of life changing decisions and during the Holiday season it sure can throw a wrench in someone's Holiday planning!
so even if I dropped a couple of Holiday treats from this year's roster like caramel corn and cranberry fudge....
I am still churning out the classics ...gingerbread, pferffernusse (pepper gingerbread), Xmas candies and candy cane meringues.
and fruit squares and mini butter tarts for Xmas supper at the inlays.....
today I will share my candy cane meringue kiss recipe...very simple in case you are missing a cookie on your cookie plate...
you will need:
4 egg whites room temp
1 cup super fine sugar (I use powdered sugar)
1 pinch salt
1 pinch cream of tartar
1 teaspoon vanilla
crushed candy cane
set your oven to 170F or lower if you can
start whipping the egg whites until they form soft peaks. Add salt and cream of tartar
continue whipping and gradually add the sugar.
whip until you get glossy firm peaks, add the vanilla. blend well
use 2 teaspoons to form little kisses on a parchment lined cookie tray. sprinkle crushed candy cane on top.
bake 2 hours with the oven door slightly ajar. after 2 hours turn off the oven but keep the oven door ajar to let the meringues time to dry.
These are always a bit hit on our Xmas table!
ENJOY!!!
