Since my dogs died of accidental poisoning before they reached their first birthday it seemed wrong to still celebrate it. Out of the four puppies only one survived and she’s been living with her new family a few months after birth. They were the first batch
I’ve decided however to make dinner for them tonight. As for the new puppies they love this thing that I hate so much–macaroons.
I made some for last year’s class reunion and since its easy to make and they like it (my grade school classmates and the puppies), I didn’t mind making them again.
I found the recipe in an old notebook owned by my mother. It didn’t have an exact procedure written except mixing everything in a bowl then bake.
Macaroons
1 pack desiccated coconuts ( the only ones available in the supermarket were from RAM 200g)
1 can condensed milk ( I used Alaska)
2 large eggs
1/2 cup butter (I used salted)
1 cup brown sugar (that’s what we have in the pantry)
1 tbsp vanilla extract
Slightly beat the eggs in a large bowl then dump the rest of the ingredients then mix thoroughly. The mixture looked and felt wet and runny but it held its shape once I baked it. I scooped 1/2 tbsp in each 3/4 oz cupcake liner I got from RM.
Bake for 35 minutes at 170 C (approx 350 F). The yield was about 90 pieces.
Let cool completely.
