- 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.- Remarks
