Ingredients

30 meringues
  • a few drops of lemon juice
  • 3 egg whites
  • 180 gram fine granulated sugar
  • optional: a pinch of salt, a teaspoon of cornflour

Equipment

  • Standmixer
  • Parchment paper
  • Piping bag + nozzle

INSTRUCTIONS (how to make this recipe):

  • Preheat the oven to 80 degrees Celsius / 176 Fahrenheit top and bottom heat.
  • Grease a clean bowl with lemon juice, dry well and add the egg whites. Beat the egg whites with a hand mixer or in a food processor until stiff.
  • Gradually add the sugar and continue to beat until all the sugar has been incorporated and the egg whites form nice firm white peaks.
  • **Take a piping bag and add a star nozzle (optional) and place it in a measuring cup, leaving it open. Spoon the beaten egg whites into the piping bag, close the bag.
  • Pipe nice dollops (as in the photo) onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Use extra baking trays if the mixture is too big.
  • Bake the meringues for about 2 to 3 hours, depending on their size. Remove from the oven once they have set. Enjoy!
