on a baking sheet. In each, put 1 teaspoon of jelly, 1 tablespoon of
cream and 1 piece of butter.

In a mixer, beat the egg whites on medium-high speed until they

continue to beat until stiff and shiny.

the beaten whites. Use a spatula to transfer 3 large mounds of the
mixture to each of the baking dishes; shape and smooth them. Bake
until puffed and golden (about 8 minutes.)

Serve immediately.
