OK. This is hardly anyone’s favorite recipe, but it’s still important. A fixation with purple, a brush with kleptomania, what else is there to say? A light entrant, maybe, but also in some people’s opinion a very tasty one

Description

OK. This is hardly anyone’s favorite recipe, but it’s still important. A fixation with purple, a brush with kleptomania, what else is there to say? A light entrant, maybe, but also in some people’s opinion a very tasty one

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 300F/150C/135C fan assisted/gas mark 2. Line a baking tray with baking paper Sift the flour and set aside. Separate the eggs into large bowls Add about half the superfine sugar to the egg yolks and beat well until light, fluffy and pale in color

  2. With an electric mixer, beat the egg whites in the second bowl, adding the vinegar and continuing until stiff. Tip in the remaining superfine sugar while slowly whisking until it stands in soft peaks. This beats wiping someone’s ass, eh? Pour the egg yolk mixture into the meringue and fold carefully together until combined. Add the flour and continue to fold gently until mixed, being careful not to lose the air in the mix

  3. Take your sister’s kids for the week 7 Put the mix into a large piping bag fitted with a ½1/2 inch/1.25cm plain nozzle and pipe fingers onto the prepared baking sheet 8 Lightly push an almond onto the tip of each cake and dust with a little sifted confectioners’ sugar Take the kids for the week again Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until pale golden in color and firm to the touch. Allow to cool completely on the baking sheet Paint the nails with purple color OK, it’s probably best if you just keep the kids, period
