Those three adjectives are the secret to well-made meringues. Added sugar in the right amounts should give them a shiny, lacquered texture; baking, firmness and consistency; the proportions of the ingredients and the correct mounted of the clear they will provide a fluffy texture to the baked meringues.

Making a good meringue is not easy, since it is very important to control the ingredients, the temperature and the cooking time in the oven. Once made and cold, we have complete freedom to dress them up. With chocolate, syrups, filled with fruits, with burnt sugar ... They are all delicious. We forgot, you can add aromas and colorings to the whites to make colored meringues.

Ingredients

  • Egg whites 4
  • 250 grams of sugars
  • a pinch of salt

Preparation

  1. Separate the whites from the yolks by dividing the egg in half and passing the white from shell to shell until the white all falls into a container and only the yolk remains.

  2. We can also put the egg in our hand and let the white filter through our fingers.

  3. Then we lightly beat the whites with the rods with a pinch of salt until they are foamy

  4. Then add half the sugar gradually and continue beating until they are firm and shiny, about to form snow.

  5. We add the rest of the sugar and we give a new beat of the rods.

  6. Fill a pastry bag with a smooth or curly nozzle and shape the meringues on a baking sheet covered with silicone or greased greased non-stick paper

  7. We put the tray in the oven preheated to about 90 degrees for one hour and two hours until we see that they are hard, golden and crispy on the outside

  8. If we lift them and they do not stick to the paper, they are done

  9. It is not convenient to open the oven too much during cooking

  10. Once ready, cool and prepare as you like.

    Hello, a question… I have to preheat the oven for 1 hour, at 90ºC. And then we cook the meringue for an hour? Or just turn on the oven I put the meringue? Thank you for your answer ..
