Meringues
As I found out from one of my previous bakes I absolutely love meringues so I decided to bake some.
Ingredients
4 egg whites, at room temperature
Pinch of salt
1 cup (220g) caster sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
Food colouring (optional)
2. Use an electric mixer to whisk eggs and salt until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, a tablespoon at a time, whisking well between each addition, until sugar dissolves. Once all the sugar has been added, continue to whisk on high for 3 mins. Whisk in the vanilla essence.
3. Use two teaspoons to spoon meringue onto lined trays. Bake meringues for 45 mins to 1h depending on the size of the meringues. Turn oven off and leave meringues in the oven to cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
