It's a day when I don't feel motivated to do very much. What I need is a simple, fun, creative project. So I decided to try baking Cloud Bread.
Four ingredients - simple enough. I had all that was called for, even cream of tartar (unopened).
I softened the cream cheese in the microwave for about 15 seconds. I then separated the eggs. I pulled out a baking pan, covered it with parchment paper, and set the oven for 350 degrees F.
I whipped the egg whites until they were very stiff and beat in the cream of tarter.
With a separate hand mixer, I blended the yolks with the softened cream cheese and sugar until the batter was smooth.
Next came the gentle folding of the yolk mixture into the whites.
I mounded the batter into six rounds on the parchment paper and put the pan into the oven.
The recipe said to bake until firm and golden brown, about 30 minutes.
Good thing I stayed in the kitchen, because I began to smell the aroma after 15 minutes. I checked, and they were already done!
Perfect, warm from the oven with a little jam and a cup of tea!
