Angel's Eggs

Beat the egg whites with the whole egg until the mixture is fluffy

This takes 15 to 20 minutes in a mixer

Pour into muffin tin-lined cups

Place the muffins on a hot water bath and bake in a moderate oven until, when inserting a knife, it comes out clean

This takes about 15 minutes

While the angel's eggs are baking, cook the sugar with water in the oven for 15 minutes after it has stopped boiling

Perfume the syrup with vanilla

Carefully remove the angel's eggs from the muffin tin

Make 3 or 4 holes in each one

Gently drop them into the hot syrup

Remove from heat and let cool overnight

Serve in a compote dish along with the syrup

Do not refrigerate.
