S#99: Mmmm, sprinkles!
Today’s awesomeness mission was to bake a cake or cookies for a bunch of friends, utilising the awesome power of sprinkles.
I haz fulfilled my mission.
Here’s the meringues I made (crusty on the outside, chewy on the inside, and sprinkled with leftover margarita sugar):
My recipe:
4 egg whites
1.5 c. sugar
healthy splash of vanilla
Preheat oven to 220 degrees Celsius. Beat egg whites until stiff. Add sugar (gradually. . . ish) and vanilla. Drop by teaspoonful onto greased trays. Sprinkle with something shiny and/or chocolate.
Turn off oven and leave in for five hours.
Eat leftover meringue mixture.
Eat cooked meringues.
Blog.
Take remaining meringues to party.

You forgot one step:
Put some aside to take to beloved Mother! (who cannot eat so many other yummy things but can eat meringues!)

they turned out so well! The awesome power of sprinkles can be hard to harness sometimes, but you succeeded.

Damien: sheer luck, I promise. The recipe I googled was in fahrenheit so rather than spending 5 seconds finding a convertor I just guessed.
