Earlier this year, one of our Supper Club themes was Alice in Wonderland. I chose to bring dessert and wracked my brain and the Internet for ideas. I ended up choosing a variety of desserts and one that I chose were meringues. If you haven't eaten a meringue, they are very delicate "cookies" made simply. I call them delicate because they are extremely light and airy.
I found this recipe online and much to my surprise they were simple to make. Mine weren't as dry as I hoped but I blame it on the weather. It was very damp and dry the day that I made them. They were a hit still! I served them with strawberries and fresh whipped cream.

I love them because of their light and airy texture and deliciously sweet taste. It helps to know that they are low in calories!
Ingredients
- 4 egg whites
- 2 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Butter and flour a baking sheet.
- In a glass or metal bowl, whip egg whites until foamy using an electric mixer. Sprinkle in sugar a little at a time, while continuing to whip at medium speed. When the mixture becomes stiff and shiny like satin, stop mixing, and transfer the mixture to a large pastry bag. Pipe the meringue out onto the prepared baking sheet using a large round tip or star tip.
- Place the meringues in the oven and place a wooden spoon handle in the door to keep it from closing all the way. Bake for 3 hours, or until the meringues are dry, and can easily be removed from the pan. Allow cookies to cool completely before storing in an airtight container at room temperature.
