Meringues
Ingredients
- 4 large egg whites
- 115 grams caster sugar
- 115 grams icing sugar
- 1 cup thick cream whipped for filling meringues
Instructions
- Pre -heat oven to 100 C fan. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper. Whip egg whites to soft peaks. Add caster sugar 1 tablespoon at a time to egg whites. This should be thick and glossy.
- Sift icing sugar 1/3 at a time over mix and using either a metal spoon or rubber spatula mix icing sugar gently until combined. Do this with the rest icing sugar. The mixture should look smooth and billowy. You can use a piping bag to pipe out meringue into circles or you can scoop out heaped dessert spoonfuls and using another spoon gently ease onto prepared trays. Cook for 1:1/2 hours, or until meringue sounds crisp when taped underneath.
- Whip the cup of thickened cream, add any flavoring you want and sandwich them together and enjoy.
