In case you didn't realize it, tomorrow is Valentine's Day! Hard to believe we're halfway through the month of February already. Guys, I hope you've bought something for your significant other.
Epicurious has a recipe for Meringue Kisses, which is a healthier version of the kisses you're probably used to eating. When I saw the ingredients - both of them, eggs and sugar - I thought it was a typo. That's all you need to make kisses?
Meringue Kisses
2 large egg whites
1/2 cup sugar
Preheat oven to 200°F. and butter and flour a large baking sheet, knocking off excess flour.
In a bowl with an electric mixer beat whites until they hold soft peaks. Gradually add sugar, beating, and beat until meringue holds stiff, glossy peaks. Drop heaping teaspoons (not measuring spoons) of meringue about 1 inch apart onto baking sheet and bake in middle of oven 45 minutes. Turn oven off and leave meringues in oven 1 hour more. With a metal spatula transfer meringues to a rack to cool completely. Meringue kisses may be kept in an airtight container at room temperature 5 days.
(For a variation, you can also try these Cocoa Kisses or Hazelnut Kisses.)
