Quick, easy and simple. Allows the Guides to experiment with another setting on another house hold appliance - the electric mixer. However there are safety rules to follow and these rules are run through every time the mixer is used. The Guides found waiting for the eggs to stiffen is worth the wait.
3-4 egg whites (at room temperature)
250g castor sugar
125g ground coconut (desiccated)
squeeze lemon juice or grated rind one orange
icing sugar
Method:
Whip egg whites stiffly.
Add sugar slowly until all absorbed.

Drop a teaspoonful at a time on to grease proof paper or rice paper sprinkled with sugar.
