Lemon Curd Meringue Roulade
This is a Easter dessert that I have made for tonight. Lemon curd is a gorgeous vivid yellow colour so I thought it was appropriate for Easter. This Easter has rather been taken over by the Hype of The Royal Wedding which is a real shame. I think Kate should run away now and say I'v changed my mind as the media will ruin her life don't you think.
Okay here is the recipy : Heat your oven to 180 degrees or 350 then take 6 egg whites and whisk them until they are very stiff in a Kenwood mixer fitted with a balloon whisk. Weigh out 12ozs of caster sugar and then slowly spoonful by spoonful ,(while the machine is still running on full blast ) add the caster sugar and at the end a drop of vanilla essence. Line a very large swiss roll tin wth greaseproof paper and spread the mixture out flat. Bake for 20 mins, then let it go cold. On you table cut out a large rectangle of foil then the same of greaseproof paper dust it with icing sugar and then drop on to it the meringue face down . Cover it with whipped cream and then a layer of home-made lemon curd. Then with a firm hand roll it up and bob's your uncle you've got a lovely pudding. If you can't be bothered come round and try a peice at Sallyport!
