Button or Ball Meringues
Put in a whipping tin four large fresh whites of eggs
and a pinch of salt; whip them together till quite stiff;
then add half a pound of castor sugar; stir together care
fully, and put the mixture into a forcing bag with a plain
pipe and force it out on to a cold waxed baking-tin; dust
over the tops with icing sugar, and put them into a very
moderate oven till firm; then use when cold. These can
be coloured with a few drops of Marshall’s Carmine to
make them a pink shade, or with Sap Green when this
colour is desired.
