Leftover biscuits

[alias_sqbr]

Making icecream has left me with lots of leftover egg whites. Being gluten free for a bit has left me with lots of left over gluten free flours.

So today I thought "Stuff it, I'll just chuck some of them together" and made a bodgy version of these Hazelnut macaroons.

I had (very roughly measured): 180g hazelnut and almond meal (about a 2:1 ratio I'd say), 150g caster sugar, 3 semi frozen egg whites, about a tablespoon of sultanas.

And they're DELICIOUS. The mixture of nuts works really well.

Must. Not. Eat. All. The. Biscuits.

Don't forget distantcam!

Man, reading your cooking experiments makes me want an oven again.

If you're able to eat icing sugar and peppermint essence, then you can make peppermint creams with egg whites too.

Egg whites and nut meals were made for each other.

No oven! o.O Don't you have a breadmaker? You could make sweet breads :) (but not sweetbreads. Ew)

Can't have peppermint :( :( I could probably make something nice with a different essence and the same idea, though.

But I'm quite happy making meringues and macaroons, I love them so :) I keep meaning to investigate savoury uses but get distracted by the crunchy sugary goodness...

They totally were. Nom.
