Ingredients

• 3 egg whites, beaten stiff
• Flavoring
• 1 c. fine granulated sugar folded in

Directions

1. Drop in oval shape onto wet letter paper tacked to a board or onto a greased paper.
2. Bake one of two possible ways.

   Either put into an oven warm enough to make Meringues hold their shape and take on a very delicate brown; then lower fire to just dry them out. This may take one-half to one hour.

   Or place them in a very slow oven to dry out for one hour.

4. Shape into fancy forms as mushrooms, eclairs, etc., with pastry bag and tubes.
