🍰 Desserts

Crisp-shelled meringue piped small, the calorie-light cookie that shatters sweetly. Crisp at the edges, chewy in the middle, with every bite loaded. Best the day they are baked, but they keep three days in a tin.

Ingredients

Butter1/2 cup, softened
Salta pinch
Eggs4
Sugar1 tsp
Baking Powder1/2 tsp
Vanilla Extract1 cup, chopped
Almonds1/4 cup, blanched and slivered

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 180 C / 350 F and get two baking sheets ready.
2
Whisk the flour, sugar and leavening together in a bowl so everything is evenly distributed.
3
Beat the butter and sugars until creamy, add the eggs and vanilla, then stir in the dry mix.
4
Fold in the eggs last so the streaks and chunks stay distinct.
5
Roll or scoop the dough, bake 11-13 minutes, then cool on the tray five minutes — they finish setting as they cool.

Chef's tip

With butter-based batters, cream until the mixture actually lightens in colour; that trapped air is your rise.
