Eggfree Caramel Meringue
If you don't know how to make aquafaba, the easiest way is to buy a can of chickpea, use the brine.
My son was so happy eating the Meringue without knowing what that is. It is meringue, my son.....
The next day he decided to ask me how to make meringue. I start the lesson by telling him that meringue is made with egg whites (when he stuff the meringues into his mouth), his eyes widen and he spit out the meringue IMMEDIATELY and told me, "but I can't eat eggs!!!". I saw a good reaction there and felt so relief that he totally understands about his allergy. I continue by telling him that we don't use egg at home, so mommy made eggfree version for him with aquafaba, the magical chickpea brine that works exactly like egg.
I have requests of sharing my Meringue recipe.
Please find below for the recipe and step by stop instruction of how to make.
EGGFREE CARAMEL MERINGUE
Ingredients:
3 Tbsp Aquafaba
3 Tbsp Sugar
1/2 Tsp Cream of Tar tar
1 Tsp of Eatery caramel

2. Once the aquafaba turn soft peak, mix in the cream of tar tar, whip till stiff peak.

Donut with simple glaze and sprinkles (eggfree)
Lucas had been screaming donut for 2 weeks in a row. So we decided to make donut again last week. He requested donut with a hole this time, because we made small round donut with no hole in the middle and he gets upset about it.
This week he did so much better in cutting the dough with the cutter and more patience in kneading the dough. But the way he sprinkle the chocolate rice and hundreds and thousands really going to make me break down. He made the kitchen floor so messy that i don't know where to begin cleaning. Oh welll.. got to suck it up, since I want him to learn too.

- Leave to proof for about 40minutes or until double in size.
- Punch out the dough, let rest for 5 minutes, and then knead for 5 mintues, then flatten out and cut the dough into rounds (with hole, i use donut cutter)
- Place the cut dough in baking sheet with baking paper brushed with melted butter.
- Brush the top of the donut with melted butter, and cover loosely with another piece of baking paper on top, then kitchen towel/cloth.
- Bake the donut at preheated oven at 200 degree celcius for 7-8 minutes. Can be fried too, until golden brown.

4 tbsp icing sugar
2 tbsp warm water (add more if needed)
1 tsp butter
METHOD:
- Mix icing sugar, warm water and butter together until become a smooth and loose paste.
ASSAMBLE DONUT

Hundread and thousands
Rainbow rice chocolate
Rice chocolate
METHOD:
- Dip the top donut into the glaze.
- Tap the excess out then dip the glaze part at the sprinkles.
- Dry at cooling rack, this will take less than 5 minutes. The glaze is thin, hence it dries up fast.
P.S. Reheat the donut before serving the next day to keep it fluffy.
Enjoy!!
