How to make 1938 Depression Era corn flake meringue cookies
In short: Step back into the 1930s to recreate a classic Depression Era treat. This video demonstrates how to transform simple pantry staples like corn flakes, egg whites, and sugar into light, crunchy meringue macaroons.
This recipe for Corn Flake Macaroons utilizes a simple meringue base made by beating egg whites until they reach stiff peaks, then incorporating sugar until the mixture is smooth and glossy. To add texture, the recipe calls for folding in 500 mL of corn flakes and 60 mL of chopped nuts. Once baked at 180ºC (350ºF), these cookies should be stored in an airtight container to prevent them from losing their signature crunch within a day or two.
