Procedure

Preheat the oven at 160 degrees. Beat the egg whites for along time until they froth. Then add sugar slowly. Don’t add all the sugar at once. Now add cornflakes using your hands (not a spoon) very gently so that the froth of the egg white does not get settled. Add the dry fruits along with the cornflakes. Oil a baking tray and put the mixture of the cornflakes and egg whites in the tray using a spoon. Take full spoons of the mixture and put it into the tray. Bake for fifteen minutes or until they turn golden brown. You may also add coconut additionally or in place of cornflakes. These macaroons appear very appetizing and taste great too. At a picnic outing, the sugar would provide you with carbohydrates (glucose) to keep you active and the dry fruits contribute in keeping your mind fresh. Cornflakes are a very good source of energy. So, this recipe includes all the factors which need to be taken care of at a picnic.

Both the suggested foods are ideal to take at a picnic. They can be easily made; all the ingredients are easily available and fill in you enough oomph to enjoy a lot of gaiety at your outing trip.
