    I've got 3 egg whites from Friday that I want to use up (assuming they are still ok).
    Any ideas what to do with them? I could put them in an omlette but am not very inspired by that, or make meringue.
    If I made meringue though would the meringue keep till the weekend? we don't really have puddings in the week.

    Hi, you can use egg whites for glue instead of using cellotape if your pushed.
    I know that sounds a bit extravegant ,but if you have some old left over egg whites, thats one way of using it up.

    Meringue? I think you can freeze them. I'll see if there's anything on this already.

    make brown sugar meringues! much easier and yummier than ordinary meringues!!!

    2oz (50g) soft brown sugar for every egg white

    whisk whites till stiff ie, you can hold bowl upside down without them falling out onto your head!

    Carefully whisk in sugar approx 2 tablespoons full at a time till all used

    Spoon onto baking sheet pref covered in non-stick baking parchment in egg sized amounts

    bake 90-100 c for 2-3 hrs

    lovely sandwhiched together with cream or ice cream

    will keep for a couple of weeks if stored in air tight container

    Kids loooooove them so do grown ups!!!

    Whisk up, add some sugar, shape (pipe them?), put them in a very low oven for about 3 hours and make meringue nests. Fill with summer fruit and top with a little cream. Mmmm!
    "Some say the cup is half empty, while others say it is half full. However, this is skirting around the issue. The real problem is that the cup is too big."

    Make meringue! Whip up the egg whites until stiff, fold in icing sugar, bake. Sure you can google quite a few recipes for basic meringue!

    Pavlova! Much better than meringue imho. All you need is egg whites, cornflower, sugar and a bit of vinegar. I'll see if I can find the recipe.
