8 ounces fine granulated sugar - rounded cup.

4 whites of eggs.

1 teaspoon flavoring.

Whip the whites with a bunch of wire, in a cold place until they are firm enough to bear up an egg, add the sugar and flavor and beat a few seconds longer. Put the meringue paste thus made into a sack and star-pointed tube or else into a stiff paper cornet having the point cut like saw teeth and press out portions size of walnuts on to pans slightly greased and then wiped clean. Bake in a very slack oven about 10 minutes or till the kisses are of a light fawn color and swelled partially hollow. They slip off easily when cold.

Cost of material 10c; number of cakes 5 doz., or according to size.
