Ingredients for Meringue
3 Egg Whites
1 pinch of Salt
1 Cup of sugar
1 pinch of powder food coloring
Directions
- Put the egg white and salt into the whisking bowl.
- Whisk the egg white until it turns white and foamy.
- The most important point to pay attention here is that not even a drop of egg yolk should mix into the egg white.
- Add the sugar slowly as you keep whisking. (If the mix does not get thick, you can add some more sugar.)
- Keep whipping until it turns thick, bright colour (for about 20 min.).
- If the mixture does not flow down from the spoon, then it has the right consistency.
- Once ready, fill the meringue mix into a piping bag fitted with a star tip.
- Place baking paper on the baking tray.
- Using the piping bag, pipe the meringues onto the baking paper.
- Put the meringues in the oven, set the oven at 100 °C and bake for 1 hour.
- The baking time may vary depending on the size of the piped meringues.
- Leftover mix can be used for making colourful meringues, by adding some food colouring.
- Once baked carefully for about 1 hour, the meringues are kept in the oven for another 15 min. after the oven is turned off.
Bon appetite…
