MACADAMIA MERINGUES
Ingredients
- 1 cup chopped raw macadamias
-
11/4 cups castor sugar
-
3 egg whites
-
pinch of cream of tartar
-
1 tsp ginger powder
-
2 tsp finely diced glaze ginger
-
48 whole macadamias
Method
Preheat oven to 120 degrees C. Combine the chopped macadamias and 1/4 cup of the castor sugar in a food processor and process until finely chopped. In a separate bowl beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in the remaining cup of sugar until sugar has dissolved and mixture is stiff. Fold in the macadamia mixture and both gingers. Place teaspoonfuls of mixture on oven trays lined with baking paper, allowing room for spreading. Top with a macadamia, bake for 40-45 minutes or until dry and crisp but not browned. Makes about 48 meringues. * To make chocolate meringues, substitute 2 teaspoons of cocoa powder for the ginger powder.
