Easter is here and it is time for a delicious dessert. Here is our family’s famous recipe for Easter Lilies. They are a tradition and have to be made every year. They really look just like Lilies from a garden if done just right. Mine are not perfected. I have much practice to do until they will look like my Grandmother’s!
Easter Lily Dessert
3 eggs, beaten
2 T water
1 cup flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp vanilla
Mix eggs and water together. Add all dry ingredients to the egg mix, then add the vanilla. Beat for 2 minutes with an electric mixer. Grease a cookie sheet and dust with flour, or use a Silpat. Scoop 1/8 cup of batter and drop on baking sheet. Drop 4 more scoops of batter on the sheet and Bake for 8-10 minutes at 350* until very light brown (mine took 12 min). Work quickly with a wide spatula to lift the lily off the pan and fold into a cone shape. As they cool, keep working them into the cone shape. When they are completely cool, fill with yummy whipped cream. Makes 15 lilies.
My first batch did not look like this. They fell apart after I tried to fold them. It really does take practice to shape these to perfection. But they are worth it and delicious to eat.
