Meringues

Step 1

Heat oven to 120C/ gas 1/2.

Step 2

In a clean, glass, grease-free bowl, whisk the egg white until it forms stiff peaks, using electric whisk. Add about a third of the sugar, whipping for 1 min or so, until stiff and glossy. Gradually add the remaining sugar until you have a glossy meringue that holds stiff peaks.

Step 3

Fill your piping bag with the meringue mix and twist the end to close.

Step 4

Place a brown liner on a baking tray.

Step 5

Holding the bag vertically over the tray, apply enough pressure to create a base, then quickly draw the bag upwards to create little points.

Step 6

Bake in the oven for 1 hr or until the meringues sound hollow when you lift one and tap the base - they should have a crunchy shell and not be too chewy. If possible, leave to cool in the oven with the door closed.
