Title: Coffee Meringue Kisses
Categories: Cookies, Christmas
Yield: 36 servings

3/4 c Sugar
1.00 ts vanilla extract
3 ts Powdered instant
-coffee
0.25 ts cream of tartar
4 Egg whites, room
-temperature

These cookies – said to have been a favorite with Marie Antoinette –
are 100 percent fat-free, and have about 20 calories per cookie. They
also have no flour, so would be good for someone who isn’t able to
eat wheat. They will, however, tie up your oven for 3-4 hours.

Heat oven to 250’F. Use nonstick cookie sheets, or line regular cookie
sheets with parchment paper. In a food processor with a metal blade,
process the sugar and coffee powder until the texture of the sugar
becomes very fine. In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg whites and
vanilla extract with an electric mixer at medium speed, until very
frothy. Add cream of tartar, and continue beating at medium speed
until soft peaks form. Increase beater speed to high, and gradually
beat in sugar-coffee mixture. Continue beating until soft peaks form
and mixture has a glossy sheen.

To pipe cookies from pastry bag: Fill pastry bag (or 1-gallon freezer
bag), fitted with Number 6 plain round pastry tube, with meringue.
Hold bag upright over prepared cookie sheets and squeeze out
meringue, leaving pastry tip buried in meringue, until you have piped
out a round about 1 1/2″ in diameter. Lift up tip and stop squeezing.
Leave 1″ between cookies. Or, drop by tablespoonfuls onto prepared
cookie sheet, leaving 2″ between cookies.

Bake 1 hour without opening oven door. Turn off oven, and let
meringues dry in oven 2-3 hours more without opening oven door.
(After the first hour, it’s okay to peek just once.) At this point
you can leave them in the oven overnight.

Remove the meringues from the cookie sheet with a spatula. Store in
airtight container. Makes about 3 dozen.

Pulverised dried saffron strands

Shortcrust pastry made with 225 g/8 oz flour, 65 g/2
1/2 oz butter, 40 g/1 1/2 oz lard, and cold water to
mix

6 egg yolks 350 ml/12 fl oz/ 1 1/2 cups double cream
125 ml/4 fl oz/ 1/2 cup milk 65 g/2 1/2 oz white sugar
1/4 teaspoon sea salt

I first noticed this version of the old recipe in The
Babees Book, and it seemed just right as a sweet dish
for the youngsters being taught from that book. There
is a richer version made with almond milk for fast
days outside Lent.

Soak the saffron in 2 tablespoons water until the
water is deep gold in colour. Use the pastry to make
a case 5 cm/2 inches deep in a 20-cm/8-inch pie plate
or cake tin with a loose bottom. Bake ‘blind’ in a
pre-heated oven at 200C/400F/Gas Mark 6 for 15-20
minutes, then remove the filling of dried beans and
return the case to the oven at about 160C/325F/Gas
Mark 3 for 6-8 minutes until dried out and firm.
Remember a cake tin is deeper than a pie plate so the
case in it may need longer baking than usual.

Beat the egg yolks lightly in a bowl, then beat in the
cream, milk, sugar, saffron water and salt. Pour the
custard into the pastry case. Bake it at 160C/325F/Gas
Mark 3 for about 45 minutes or until it is just set in
the centre. Serve warm.

Make small tarts if you prefer. The full recipe
quantity of pastry will make 36 tarts, using a 7.5
cm/3 inch cutter. You will need two thirds of the
filling for them.
