Step 1
|
| Preheat oven to 235 degrees Fahrenheit |
|
Step 2
|
| Line a baking sheet with PARCHMENT PAPER * Do this! Meringues will not work if you skip this step! * |
|
Step 3
|
| Beat egg whites in a large bowl with electric beaters until frothy and stiff. |
|
Step 4
|
| Slowly add the sugar, one tablespoon at a time and beat the mixture until thick and glossy. |
|
Step 5
|
| Add vanilla or almond flavouring and food colouring. Scrape down the bowl and continue beating until stiff peaks form. |
|
Step 6
|
Transfer the mixture to a piping bag or spoon out the mixture into small piles or "shells" on your prepared baking sheet. If you don't have a piping bag, watch the video on www.ajocksguide.com to show how to use a Ziploc bag instead! Keep a few inches between each of the shells.
* If piping, be sure not to compress the mixture. Coil with a light hand into a circle.
* If spooning, spoon approximately 1/2 cup of the mixture into a blob. |
|
Step 7

| Place in oven and bake for 60-75 minutes, or until meringues peel nicely off and sound hollow when tapped. |
|
Step 8
|
| Turn oven off and leave meringues in the oven overnight to dry out. |
