This is a nice confection that has many uses. ******************************************************* ************** Froth up the egg whites with a little water. With a small brush paint the leaves with the egg white and dust both sides with the powdered sugar. Set each leaf on a sheet of wax paper and allow to dry. They will dry with a frosty crystalized coating and make a nice garnish for desserts or a pleasant candy treat.
