Hey
everyone! sorry its been so long, I'm just cooped up with all my exams!
The
Final exams are coming up in a couple of weeks, and I needed to start studying.
I literally had no spare time to post the recipe, it just slipped my mind! So
sorry! But I'm here now posting it :D
3/4 cup
Splenda® Granular
2
heaping teaspoons (or one level tablespoon)cinnamon
3 egg
whites
That’s
it! I don’t have the step-by-step pictures here, at the moment, so I'm going to
post the instructions, and when I can, I'll upload the pictures from my phone.
- Pre-heat over to 350 degrees. Stir cinnamon in with Splenda. Mix well and set aside. Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Make sure its really whipped!
- Add the Splenda mix to the egg whites, all at once. Next, take a rubber spatula, and slowly (very gently now), mix the Splenda until combined.
- Take a cookie tray and grease it (I used a little vegetable oil). No need for parchment paper, just make sure there's a fair amount of oil :) Take a spoon, and spoon the meringue batter onto the cookie tray.
Depending
on the size of your cookies, you should have about 21-26. When I made my first
batch (21 cookies) I baked them for 30 minutes. When I made my second batch (26
cookies) I baked them for 26-27 minutes.
Remove
the cookies from the cookie sheet after a good 20 minutes of cooling. I used on
of those cake cutters to remove them. Make sure you rinse the cookie sheet
right away so the meringue crumbs don’t dry up and stick to the pan. When
allowing your meringues to cool, do not cover them (the hot air seems to
"dampen" them :P), let them "air-dry". They are super
delicate, so they crumble if you apply too much pressure on them.
If
anyone needs the step-by-step pictures just let me know and ill be sure to post
them!!!
Sadly I
will be taking a big break, coming back after my June exams are over (at the
very end of the month) so this may be my last post for quite a bit of time! :(
I
promise a lot of ice cream recipes for summer (When my mom gets me the ice
cream machine she promised! I've been "stirring" by hand every hour,
its still turning out rock-hard! Ugh.), cakes and tarts!
Good luck to any other teen studying for their exams!
I'll post soon!
Happy baking!
