Recipe for Hanging Saddam Ghosts
Fun for Halloween! Plan ahead the baked ghosts need to sit
1. Beat the egg whites with cream of tartar at high speed with an electric mixer until foamy.
2. Gradually add in the sugar 1 tablespoon at a time beating until stiff peaks form and the sugar is dissolved (3-4 minutes).
3. Add in almond extract, beat until combined.
4. Spoon the meringue mixture into a zip-top plastic bag, then snip a small hole into one corner.
5. Pipe into ghostly shapes onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. 6. Add the mini chocolate chips for the eyes.
7. Cut the licorice into 2 pieces.
8. Firmly pinch ends together.
9. Insert 1 in the top of each ghost for a hanger.
10. Bake in a 200 degree oven for 2 hours.
11. Turn the oven off and let the meringues stand in closed oven for 8 hours.
12. Hang where desired.
Actually I wish we could bake saddam's head in an oven along side a large roasting pig.
