As I've promised. Our homemade cornflakes macaroon for Hari Raya. Yes, it's a must have kuih! hahaa. I had fun baking them with my mama and brothers. And seems like I'm getting the hang of beating those white eggs. It turns out pretty good , fluffy and has great outcome. Egg whites mixture are very important!
Below ingredients are quite in a huge amount. It fills like around 2 big bottles? So, if you wanna try baking them little.... You make half from this. Well, do your maths! hahaha.
Ingredients:
240g white eggs
440g caster sugar
400g Hershey chocolate chips (small)
280g cornflakes, crushed to small pieces (I used Kellogg's plain cornflakes)
120g almond flakes/dessicated coconut (optional)
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
1 teaspoon salt
Procedure:
- Preheat oven to 150 Degree Celsius. Line paper cups onto trays.
- Separate your egg whites and egg yolks in a different bowl so that you might not accidentally add in egg yolk. BEWARE.
- So, egg whites in your mixing bowl and using electric mixer, beat it til it rises.
- Then, add in caster sugar little by little.
- Continue beating the mixture (increasing whisking speed slowly). Beat until soft peaks form and try to flip it upside down to see whether it's well mixed. (Shown below)
- Combine cornflakes, chocolate chips and almond flakes/coconut (optional) together.
- Add the above into your egg white mixture.
- Fold them together till it's all mixed well. (Note: Do not mix too long as it might liquify)
- Using spoons, scoop and fill around 2/3 of paper cups.
- Bake them for around 20-30 mins till slighty light browned.
- Cool on cooling rack.
TADAAAAA!!! It's good.

DeleteYou did not state when to add in the vanilla essence and salt..
ReplyDeleteVanilla essence is always added at the very last 1-3mins during the mixing of the meringue(egg whites+sugar)! To prevent the strong smell of eggs for ur end product :)
DeleteFor salt, you put along with the vanilla essence will do just fine.
