Zubereitung von Puffy Strawberry Shortcakes With Meringue
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a blender or food processor, combine 2 cups frozen strawberries and 1/4 cup strawberry jelly until smooth.
- Stir in 1 cup sliced fresh strawberries.
- Cover and refrigerate the strawberry mixture.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out refrigerated pie crust (one 14.1 ounce box) to a 12x10 inch rectangle.
- Cut the pastry into eight equal rectangles.
- Place pastry rectangles 1 inch apart on a large baking sheet.
- Pierce each rectangle several times with a fork.
- Cover with a second baking sheet.
- Bake for 6 minutes.
- Remove the top baking sheet.
- Bake for an additional 4 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let stand on the baking sheet.
- Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (165°C).
- In a small saucepan, whisk together 1/2 cup water and 2 tablespoons cornstarch.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and bubbly (about 1 minute).
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar.
- Set aside.
- In a large, clean mixing bowl, beat 4 large egg whites and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until frothy.
- Gradually add the sugar mixture, beating until soft peaks form.
- Add the cooled cornstarch mixture and beat until stiff, glossy peaks form.
- Spoon the meringue evenly onto the baked pastry rectangles.
- Bake for 15 minutes, or until the meringue is lightly golden brown.
- Serve the warm pastries with the strawberry sauce. Top each shortcake with a fresh strawberry, dabbing a bit of sauce underneath to hold it in place.
