PORTUGUESE SNOW DROPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Beat egg whites in a glass or metal bowl until foamy. Gradually add sugar and lemon juice, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form sharp peaks.
• Drop by heaping teaspoonfuls egg mixture onto a baking sheet, making little peaked mounds.
• Bake in preheated oven until lightly browned and dry on the outside yet soft and no longer gooey on the inside, 15 to 20 minutes.

SNOWDROPS

Steps:

• Beat butter until creamy; add sugar and blend some more. Mix in the flour, nuts, vanilla and water.
• Chill until firm enough to shape with your fingers into small round balls.
• Bake at 400 F for 10 minutes, but watch them - remember they are snow drops, shouldn't even turn golden.
• Roll in sifted icing sugar as soon as you remove them from the oven. Mmm, toasty fingers coated in melted sugar!
