Floating Island
4 servings
4
eggs, separated.
500ml (18fl oz) skimmed milk.
1 vanilla pod, split lengthwise.
Sweetener to taste.
In a mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until they form soft but firm peaks (you can use a dash of cream of tartar to make this easier). in a saucepan bring the milk, sweetener and a small vanilla pod to the boil.
With a ladle carefully spoon out snowball-sized portions of the egg whites and drop them into the hot milk. They will swell up. after turning them over remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a plate.
