Beat egg white until fluffy. 2. Add oil of P/mint. 3. Gradually stir in icing sugar, adding sufficient to form a very stiff mixture (The exact amount depends on size of egg white). 4. Turn mixture onto surface heavily dusted in sifted I/sugar and roll to 1/4 " thickness. 5. Cut into rounds with a 1 " cutter. 6. Gather trimmings together, knead lightly and re-roll and re-cut until all the mixture is used up. (Now comes the HARD bit) 7. Leave for about a day for creams to become firm and set. She doesn't tell us how to coat 'em but I dare say you can suss that one out. Him up here. ->->->-> Rodrick wrote: > Hi Margret, > I don't have a recipe because I don't make them. The only ones I've ever seen were store bought. They are common over here in the US as a type of candy. It is basically a white mint cream or paste covered with a thin layer of dark chocolate. They're round and about 1 to 1 1/2 " across. I love them, but my sister does not at all. She says she likes mint by itself and chocolate by itself, but NOT mint and chocolate together. I think it is a heavenly combination. > > Rodrick > > Re: Mint Kt > > > In message <001f01c91031$51e25880$31abef04@yourc44d19af4e> you wrote: > > > So you wouldn't even like something like a mint patty?! > Ah, Rodrick, > Have you got the recipe?
