PISTACHIO & BASIL

Pistachio & basil meringues

3 egg whites
½ tsp cornflour
175g caster sugar
2 tsp basil, finely chopped
75g pistachios, chopped

Preheat the oven to 190°C, line a baking tray with baking paper
Whisk the egg whites till they form peaks and gradually whisk in the sugar and cornflour until stiff
Fold in the basil and most of the pistachios
Dollop onto a tray and sprinkle with remaining nuts
Turn the oven down to 140°C as soon as you put them in and bake for 1 hour.
Turn the heat off and leave in the oven with the door shut for another hour to dry out


 I couldn’t decide which evening course to enrol on, I got in a right old fluster and signed up for millinery.  I do like hats, I suppose.
