French Meringue Strips

"This is a recipe my sister-in-law submitted to our Family Cookbook. I have not tried it, but I think it can go into the Zzar World Tour - Floozies French category. Preparation and baking time are estimates. The dough and meringue, when covered tightly, can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. I'm guessing on the serving size with one strip as a serving."
