"My take on this French classic. An exceptionally light and crispy cross between a biscuit and a meringue, with a slightly gooey center. A huge family favorite!"

Footnotes
- Cook's Notes:
- This is such an easy recipe and always goes down extremely well to pretty much every audience. To mix it up a bit you can put a teaspoon of flavoring in with the sugar; peppermint works extremely well, as do lemon and almond. Try drizzling some melted chocolate over the top or just leave plain. Also works well as a pudding stacked with layers of whipped cream and raspberries!
- If you want to garnish with flaked almonds, allow dough to set for 15 minutes prior to placing the almonds on top; this will prevent the almonds from sinking. When making for the kids, I skip this step as it makes it much quicker.
- Tip
- Parchment can be used for easier cleanup/removal from the pan.
