You will need..... 3 eggs 5 oz. castor sugar 1 oz. plain flour 2 teaspoons cocoa 1 lb. cooking apples
Preparation Time few
cherries
20 minutes few
pieces angelica
Cooking Time
18 minutes
Oven setting
400ºF; Gas Mark 6
Whisk 1 egg
and 1 oz. castor sugar together until thick enough to leave an
impression of the whisk for a few seconds. Fold in flour and cocoa
powder. Turn into a greased and floured 6-inch flan tin. Bake in centre
of oven for 8 minutes. Turn on to a wire rack and cool. Peel and
core apples. Stew in a very little water until pulpy. Sweeten to taste.
Separate remaining eggs. Beat yolks into the cooled apple mixture. Pour
into the flan case and place on a fireproof plate. Whisk egg
whites until stiff and fold in remaining sugar. Pile on top of the
apples and bake in centre of oven for 10 minutes. Decorate with
cherries and angelica. Serves 4.
Quick Tip
To
ensure that the meringue is stiff enough, whisk the whites until
standing up the peaks. Start tilting the basin and shake gently-the
whites will stay put if stiff enough. If the whites come away from the
bowl, whisk a little longer.
