Yesterdays attempt was a bit of a flop.
Today I think I've nailed it.
Oven pre heated to 200C (392F). I used the fan bake setting. With or without I've had success.
7 egg whites
1 & 1/2 cups of sugar
Beat for 15 minutes
Add a heaped teaspoon of corn flour
Add a splash of coconut essence or vanilla essence
Most recopies will call for a teaspoon of white vinegar. Me? I left that out! I think you can use lemon juice also.
Beat for 15 seconds
Add 1 & 1/2 cups desiccated coconut
Fold in.. Be gentle!!! You don't want the oils from the coconut dispersing through the mix else it will flop!
Blob out on baking paper.
I like to make blobs so that I can throw them into individual bags and put them in the freezer for later. As in, new years eve / day
Put in oven. Me? I put it in at about the middle.
After 15 minutes, turn oven down to 130C (266F)
Bake for a further 1 hour & 15 minutes.
Turn oven off and leave in there for 3 hours or longer. Me? I came back the following morning.
Consume anyway you like.. kiwi fruit, ice cream, yogurt, marshmallows etc....
This is something I only do at xmas.
Enjoy...
