How to make it

  • Top half
  • Beat egg white with cold water, until stiff. Slowly add sugar and beat until thick and glossy. Pipe out or put small spoonfuls in little peaks the size of a 20-cent coin on an oven tray lined with baking paper. Bake at 120°C for 30-35 minutes until they easily lift off the paper. They should remain creamy-white like a meringue. These will keep for 2 weeks in an airtight container.
  • Bottom half
  • Beat egg and extra yolk with cold water. Stir in sugar, flour and baking powder. Roll into little balls the same size as the top halves and press flat on a well greased or baking-paper-lined oven tray. Bake for 10 minutes at 200°C and cool on a wire rack. These will firm up as they cool and can be kept for 2 weeks in an airtight container. Join the tops and bottoms together with whipped cream or a little lemon curd and cream.
  • Lemon Curd
  • Finely grate lemon rind and squeeze the juice of the lemons. Place in a heatproof bowl, add butter and sugar. Place the bowl over a saucepan of hot water and heat until the butter has melted.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add to the lemon mixture stirring constantly until the mixture thickens. Cool.

    These look amazing! Just a note for anyone from the USA who is wondering what caster sugar is, I think it is what we would call super-fine sugar. I googled the Chelsea Sugar site, and that is what I got from the product description.
