Skeleton Bones

Delicious Halloween meringues - and lots of fun piping if you involve the
kids!
Ingredients:
4 large egg whites
2 cups icing sugar
Directions:
Preheat oven to 250F (130C, Gas Mark 1/2).
In a large bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff. Gradually
add the sugar, one tablespoon at a time. Keep beating and adding sugar until you
have a meringue.
Line baking trays with paper. Using a piping bag with a plain
nozzle pipe a straight meringue bone line (approximately 4 inches long). Pipe a
meringue ball at the end of each bone. If necessary shape bones further using a
small knife.
Bake for approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes or until bones
have dried out.
Remove from oven and let cool on paper. |
