Heavenly Angel Pie

Although this takes alot of eggs-there are whites leftovers....I usually make sure I have cocnut on had to use them up by baking some macaroons on the same day!
My Mom always made this to impress company-we all secretly hoped they invited someone to dinner so she would make one!

4 egg whites
1 cup granulated suger
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
beat the eggwhites until stiff
beat in cream of tartar,sugar and vanilla
in a 9" buttered pie plate-spread out and up the sides(make sure there is a depression to later put the filling!
bake at 275 for 30 minutes or until golden brown

THE FILLING
8 egg yokes
8 tbles sugar
8 tbles lemon juice
cook over double boiler (stir constantly) until thickened
WHIPPED CREAM
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup sugar
1 tps vanilla extract
whip all ingredients together until stiff peaks form

FINISH HER OFF
In the cooled merange shell
start with lemon pud-spread a thin layer in shell
next whip cream layer
continue alternating until you are out of pud-top with whipped cream.
Let the pie chill in the refridgerater for about an hour!
NOTE: LIME JUICE OR SEVILLE (TART ORANGE JUICE) MAY BE SUBSTITUTED FOR THE LEMON JUICE!


For you Lafies out there! The leftover eggwhites (if no one is around to watch!) make a wonder face mask! they will moisten,exfoliate and nourish your skin! Just smear the egg-whites all over your face and let dry(don't get it in your eyes! Don't try to smile,answer the phine or have your photo taken-trust me-you face won't move!!! It is a bit like too many injections of Botox! Whatever expression is on you face-it is there until you wash off the eggwhites with warm water!!!

Now, if you are anything like me and figure,"there is no help for this face"-you can make macaroons!

1 egg white( I use about 1/2 the leftover from the angel pie)
1 1/2 cups flaked cococut
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup sugar
Beat the egg whites and salt until foamy throughout.Add sugar,(a lilltle at a time,beating after each addition until sugar is blend. If you have a stand mixer just keep beating and adding until you have stiff peaks.
fold in coconut add vanilla
drop by heaping teaspoons on a well grease cookie sheet.
Bake in a moderate oven-350 degrees 12-to 15 minutes or until golden brown.
YUMMMMMMMMMMMM.........
