This is a simple recipe that tastes as wonderful and authentic as the dessert you would get in a German restaurant. I prefer to use strawberries, but anything goes with this one! You can make smaller mounds to have meringue cookies ...a low-fat snack!
Ingredients
- 0.5 cups egg whites
- 2 teaspoons vinegar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups white sugar
- 0.5 gallons vanilla ice cream
- 1 package frozen sweetened strawberries , 10 ounce
Instructions

1
Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Butter a large baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.

In a large glass or metal mixing bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Blend in vinegar and vanilla. Gradually add sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. With a large spoon, drop meringue in 8 mounds (about 4 inches diameter), close together on baking sheet. Indent the center of each meringue with the back of a spoon.

Shrimp and Sausage and Chicken Gumbo
This hearty Indiana gumbo is great anytime of year, but especially when it's cold outside and you and your friends are huddled around the tube watching the game. Any of the meats may be substituted or omitted to suite your own tastes.
Overnight Sourdough Buckwheat Pancakes
I find the taste of pure buckwheat pancakes too strong so I am using half all-purpose and half buckwheat flour. The pancakes can be served with syrup for breakfast, or like blinis with savory toppings such as smoked salmon and sour cream.
Malasadas Dois
A raised, deep fried, Portuguese donut. Very popular as fund raisers in Southeastern Massachusetts where I grew up.
