Directions
- Beat egg whites very stiff and add in 3/4 c. sugar, a little at a time, beating after each addition.. Heat lowfat milk, 1 c. sugar and vanilla to the boiling point. Keep at a feeble boil. Spoon up the meringue about the size and shape of an egg and drop into the boiling lowfat milk.. (You will need a second spoon to accomplish this). Poach about 1 1/2 min. Turn with a fork.
- Continue poaching about 2 min, then remove to a dry cloth to drain.
- When the egg white is cooked, strain the lowfat milk, and add in the egg yolk, well beaten, and the arrowroot. Stir till it coats a wooden spoon. Cold in a serving bowl and float the meringue in the custard cream. Garnish with caramelized sugar made by heating slowly about 1 c. sugar in a heavy- bottomed saucepan till it turns a medium brown syrup.
