Meringues Recipe

My grandmother used to make these meringues everytime we visited, and ever since I wondered how she made them. My father used to work in the bakery of my grandparents, so when I asked him he knew exactly how to make them! It's not difficult at all and it only took me a few minutes this morning. And Oh, they're SO delicious!

Ingredients for 13 meringues

4 egg whites

pinch of salt

250 g sugar (castersugar works best!)

whipped cream if you like  (;




1. Preheat the oven to 120 °C (248 °F)
2. Whip the egg whites until they're foamy and you can hold the bowl upside down without the foam falling down. Make sure the material you use is extremely clean, otherwise the egg whites don't foam as much as you wish.
3. Continue the whipping while slowly adding the sugar.
4. When the mixture is glossy and stiff transfer it into a pastry bag. Use a star tip (see picture) to pipe the meringues on a piece of baking sheet.
5. Bake the meringues either 45 minutes if you want a crunchy outside and soft inside. So delicious!  Or bake for 1 ½ hour if you want the maringues to be crunchy all the way!

TIP - Put whipped cream in between to maringues after baking if you like!

Good luck!
