Author Stella May's Delicious Treat and Her Latest Time Travel Romance Are on the Menu This Easter...
I've got fellow time travel author
and friend Stella May in my virtual kitchen today, baking up some of her
delicious Almond Meringue Cookies just in time for Easter. Perfect to serve at
your family gatherings, or tuck into your children's Easter baskets, these
sweet treats won't disappoint, but will disappear! So, without further ado, I'm
handing off the spatula. Take it away, Stella...
This recipe for a classic meringue
dessert is easy to prepare and wonderful to eat. My family loves these cookies
as a sweet after a good dinner. If you choose to use vanilla extract, you’ll
have a classic méringue desert called La Bise (kiss in
French). Bon appetite!
Almond Meringue Cookies
4
egg whites, cold eggs right from the fridge
Pinch
of salt
¾
or 1 cup of white sugar (I use organic raw cane sugar)
1
tbsp. almond or vanilla extract
12
whole almonds
Preheat oven to 200° F.
You need a hand or standing mixer.
Mix egg whites and salt on high-speed to the consistency of dense foam.
Add sugar by small portions, mixing
well. Try not to stop your mixer while adding sugar. Add almond extract.
Cover cookie sheet with parchment.
Spoon mixture into 12 cookies. You can use an ice-cream scoop. Place
one whole almond on top of each cookie.
Bake for 1 hour. Lightly touch the
cookie. It will have a firm crust and a soft center. That’s ideal. Turn off the
oven and leave the cookies inside the oven for 1 hour.
Remove from the oven to cool
completely. Enjoy!
Here's
a little to intrigue you on Stella May's latest time travel romance: TIME &
AGAIN
After months of working like a woman possessed, Nika Morris kept her promise.
Coleman House is finished. It’s gorgeous. Spectacular. Brilliant.
It’s breaking her heart.
Because once the new owners move in, she’ll be cut off from
the time portal to 1909, where she met and fell in love with Eli Coleman. Now
stranded in her own time, she’s waited months for the key to reappear in its
hiding place. Only it hasn’t. Which means Eli must have believed the terrible
things she was accused of.
Back in 1909, Eli is stunned at his best friend’s deathbed
confession of a shocking betrayal. Nika—his Daisy, his time-traveling
wonder—was innocent. Once he finds the key, he wastes no time stepping through
the portal, determined to make things right.
But the moment Eli stumbles into her shiny, noisy, confusing future,
he realizes reconciliation won’t be simple. There is more than one emotional
bridge to rebuild before he and Nika can return to the time their love was
born—and live their destiny out to the fullest.
