| Whip egg-whites with 1/3 of the sugar. Begin adding additional
sugar at soft peak. Add additional sugar slowly, taking 2 - 4 minutes to put it all in.
Whip until egg-whites is whipped stiff but not dry. It should look smooth and shinny. Pipe
as illustrated. Color some French meringue for decoration (reddish, yellow).
Bake meringue in a 250° F (120°C) oven for 15 minutes, turn off oven and let
meringues dry overnight. If your oven has a pilot turn it off or it will generate to much
heat and the meringue won't stay white.
Next day:
Let meringue cool, pipe eyes onto chicken using chocolate and decorate your
pastries or cakes with it. |
