MERINGUE BEST WHEN EGGS FEW DAYS OLD USED Recipes for Plain and Shell Variety Are Given. You can t make a meringue with incantations, even though the perfect result does seem sheer magic. You may want to use the electric mixer but elbow grease is better. In order that the action of air may be complete, the egg whites should be beaten with a whisk. A dover beater or a churn beater can not whip the amount of air necessary to make a perfect meringue -from the egg whites. Eggs from three to five days old are most satisfactory. They increase in volume more at this stage of freshness than at any other time. Also eggs that are not too cold become stiffer than the chilled ones we used to be advised to use. Keep this in mind when you make an angel food cake, too. Some cooks, in their zeal to get fresh eggs, defeat their own ends because a day-old egg does not beat up as stiff as a three-dav egg. Two Kinds of Meringue Great care must be taken to separate the white from the yolk. Even a tiny bit of the yolk prevents the white from beating well. If much of the yolk is broken through the white the egg can he used for some other baking, but not for meringue. However, a small amount of yolk can removed bv dampening a soft, clean cloth and dipping it into the streak of yolk until every trace is removed. I have had so many requests lately for recipes for meringues that I'm going to give you two, one for the kind you put on pies and puddings and the other for meringue shells. A simple meringue Is used for pie and pudding frostings. For meringue shells you use the same ingredients in different proportions. If you store the shells in an airtight container they will keep a week or more and they certainly make a festive dessert filled with fresh fruit and whipped cream, or with any ice cream mixture. IMain Meringue Whites 2 eggs, 1 tablespoon lemon juice. 6 tablespoons powdered sugar, few grains salt. Beat whites of eggs with lemon juice until stiff. Fold in sugar and salt, adding about 2 tablespoonfuls of sugar at a time. Pile on pie or pudding and bake fifteen minutes in a slow' oven (300 degrees F.). The lemon juice flavors the meringue and also helps to harden the albumen, making a fine meringue. Meringue Shells One-half cup egg whites. 1-8 teaspoon salt, 1 cup fine granulated sugar, ’a teaspoon vanilla. Beat egg whites on a large platter until stiff, sprinkling salt over when beginning to beat. Beat in two tablespoons sugar. Add sugar gradually, beating constantly until a silver knife comes out clean when it is plunged into the mixture. Cover a damp board that is at least on inch thick with heavy foolscap paper. Drop mixtures from tip of spoon or force through pastry tube. Bake 50 minutes in a very slow oven (275 to 300 degrees F.). The shells really dry more than they bake. They should be slightly colored when done and firm to the touch. Remove from oven and slide from paper. Scoop out the soft inside and return to oven for a few more minutes to dry the inside of the shells. Fill with ice cream or a fruit whip and whipped cream when ready to serve, strawberries in the shells with heavy cream whipped over them is a dessert your guests will long remember. The cream should be heavy "’hipping cream or the thick, clotted kind you skim from the milk if you live in the country' and keep a cow. CLUB TO MAKE TRIP Optimists to Go to Dayton for Bowling Match.
