What does this mean?

It's hard to image that cornflakes work so well with almonds but its such a lovely flavour, it's a recipe I adapted myself from a old cooking book I found.  The cream of tartar helps but I don't think it would really alter the way they taste just gives them a lift.

Ingredients

Switch to Cup Measures
  • 50 grams cornflakes
  • 2 egg whites
  • ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 150 grams caster sugar
  • 75 grams ground almonds
  • 2 teaspoons almond extract
  • 16 blanched almonds (to put on top - optional)

Method

  1. Crush your cornflakes up either using a processor or rolling pin and bowl method into very small bits. Preheat you oven to 190 C (350 F ,gas mark No.5 ).
  2. Get your egg whites in a bowl and add the cream of tartar or pinch of salt and start whisking up, after they get frothy start adding table spoons of sugar slowly (just like making meringues).  When it's quite stiff and all the sugar has been added flood in the cornflakes and ground almonds and add the almond extract .
  3. Once flooded in , drop them onto your sheet add put on a almond if using (baking tray with grease proof paper lining) and put in your preheated oven for about 10 min, allow to cool.
