Tartlets, Parisian

Oven, in the book's wordsA moderate oven

Ingredients

Directions

The book says “a moderate oven”. The 350°F (175°C) in the steps is the modern equivalent, not the book's own figure.

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. Line the tartlet moulds with pastry.

  3. Fill the moulds with the whipped egg whites.

  4. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes.

  5. Once cool, cover the tartlets with icing.

  6. Sprinkle desiccated coconut on top.

Transcribed from a scanned cookbook and modernised for today's kitchens. Where the book gave no heat or time, or said "a moderate oven", the temperatures and times here may be modern equivalents rather than the book's own figures.
