ingredients
- 2 egg whites
- 1⁄3 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 pinch salt
- 4 ounces soft brown sugar
- 1⁄2 cup of chopped walnuts
directions
- Prepare the tray. I prefer to line it with baking parchment. The book says: rub a few drops of oil over the tray, dust with flour, tip it and knock of the excess.
- Beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar and the salt until stiff.
- Stir in the brown sugar, a tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff again after each addition.
- Fold in chopped walnuts.
- Heap in rounds on prepared tray and bake in a very slow oven (150C/350F) for between 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Remove immediately from tray and allow to cool.
- Sandwich with whipped cream.

These are delicious! I loved the brown sugar and walnut combination. Easy prep for a quick dessert. Great with or without whipped cream. The baking temp is off in the recipe...150C is 300F (302) and I did bake mine for about 30 minutes at 300, at which time I thought they would burn before being cooked through, and reduced the temp to 250F. I'll go with 250F for 1 to 1 1/2 hours next time. These are wonderful crunchy sweet little gems and I'll definitely make them again! Thanks for the recipe!

Not much to tell! I'm a South African living in London, mother of four rangingfrom 25 to 9. I am desperately trying to get my children's stories published - anyone out there interested? Until my ship sails in, I cook, eat everything and anything, and then diet like mad. I love experimenting with new recipes and I absolutely hate spoilt kids who visit and say? "what is THIS?" and push it away without trying.
My favourite cookbook is Mrs Beeton's family cookbook. 1994 edition.
