MERINGUE

Meringue is a classic and simple dessert, perfect to share with friends and family. It's crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside. You can make it with diferent flavors and colors. It's fun and easy to make, so let's bake! :)

Ingredients :

• 4 large egg whites
• 200 g sugar (1 cup)
• gel food coloring (optional)

When seperating the eggs, make sure there is no egg yolks in the egg whites. Place the egg whites in a metal or glass bowl and whisk on medium speed till soft peaks form. Start adding the sugar tsp by tsp and turn up the speed to high. Whisk the mixture till you can't feel any grains of sugar between your fingers. It should take about 5 minutes.

When the mixture is ready, add the gel food coloring and mix for a few seconds. Place the meringue mixture in a piping bag and pipe the desired shapes and sizes onto a dry baking paper (you can also use a spoon to place the mixture on the paper).

Bake the meringues at 100°C (212°F) for 1,5 hour, then turn the oven off and let them cool with the door closed. The meringues should turn slightly brown and easily come off the baking paper.

Easy peasy and yummy. Enjoy! :)
