The Day that Moshe turned 120 years old was his last day on earth. Almost the entire parsha of Haazinu is a song which Moshe sang to Bnei Yisrael on that day. (the little midrash says) these are meringues shaped into musical notes.
Meringues Recipe:
3 egg whites
3/4 cup castor sugar (fine sugar- if you cant find any, put 3/4 cup regular sugar in food processor and grind for about a minute)
1/4 tsp cream of tartar (or a pinch of salt)
Method:
PREHEAT OVEN TO 90C (200F)
1. Beat the egg whites for a few seconds just to get them a little bubbly.
2. Add the cream of tartar and beat until soft peaks form.
3. While beating on medium high add the sugar a tablespoon at a time.
4. Beat until stiff peaks form and all the sugar is dissolved ( you can test for this by rubbing a bit of the mixture between your fingers- it should be smooth. If its grainy carry on beating for a bit longer)
5. Using a piping bag, pipe out musical notes
6. Put in oven for about an hour (or until crunchy on the outside). When done, turn oven off and leave door open and allow them to cool slowly that way.
Wishing you a wonderful Shabbos!
