Time 1h10m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 egg whites
1/3 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 pinch salt
4 ounces soft brown sugar
1/2 cup of chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Prepare the tray. I prefer to line it with baking parchment. The book says: rub a few drops of oil over the tray, dust with flour, tip it and knock of the excess.
  • Beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar and the salt until stiff.
  • Stir in the brown sugar, a tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff again after each addition.
  • Fold in chopped walnuts.
  • Heap in rounds on prepared tray and bake in a very slow oven (150C/350F) for between 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Remove immediately from tray and allow to cool.
  • Sandwich with whipped cream.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use brown sugar instead of white sugar in the butterscotch sauce.
  • To make the meringue stiff and glossy, beat the egg whites until they form soft peaks before adding the sugar.
  • Spread the meringue evenly over the butterscotch layer, making sure to reach all the corners and edges.
  • Bake the bars at a low temperature (325 degrees Fahrenheit) for 20-25 minutes, or until the meringue is golden brown.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting and serving. This will help to prevent the meringue from cracking.
