Helpful Hints:
|
A special winter treat for my family includes whipping up some egg whites and sugar until stiff, then spreading it around the top of the pudding (let pudding cool first). Then return the pan to the oven at 350F for a minute until peaks of the merengue turn golden brown. Remove and let cool again before serving. This is the old-fashioned recipe that's a good comfort food for kids and adults.
