Fairy Kisses
These little cookies are perfect for Beltane – they’re so pure in color,
airy and sweet.
3 egg whites 1 cup sugar
1 cup shredded coconut
6 Tablespoons flour 1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
Preheat oven to 325 F.
Beat the egg whites into soft mounds, then gradually add the sugar and
continue beating til stiff peaks form. Add the coconut, flour, vanilla and
salt; fold these in til well blended.
Drop by teaspoonfuls onto a greased cookie sheet about 1 inch apart. Bake
10 to 12 minutes (don’t let them brown) Leave them on the cookie sheet to
cool.
(makes about 3 dozen Kisses)
serve your Fairy Kisses with :
Elsie’s Light and Airy Strawberry Pudding
Put 1 cup of smashed strawberry pulp, 1 egg white and 1/4 cup of powdered
sugar in a bowl and beat it with a mixer for 10 to 15 minutes until it’s
stiff. Pile it into pretty glass serving dishes and chill.
Just before serving, top each portion with a good dollop of whipped cream
and a teaspoon of strawberry preserves.
Note:
Strawberries are in season right now where Elsie lives, but you can
also use frozen strawberries.
(makes 4 servings)
