- Oven temperature:n-3 hours meringue - set your oven for 100 C.nvernight meringue - set your oven for 60 C lowering the temperature for 50 C when you go to bed.nnPrepare a metal bowl (it will help you to get your meringues stiff - do not use a plastic bowl) you can use a pot if you do not have a metal bowl.nlean it well and dry it. You can cut a lemon in half and us it as well to wipe the inside of the bowl grease free. Dry well with a paper towel.
- Start with beating your egg whites on medium/high speed for 2 minutes and then on highest speed and slowly tablespoon by tablespoon add your sugar until there is no sugar left. The process should take you about 3 minutes (total of 5 minutes). Do not do it any longer since you could over beat them. nou should end up with stiff and silky peaks of meringue ready to go to the oven.
- Pit a backing sheet on your baking try and with two tea spoons spoon your glossy meringues into small stiff peaks. Place them immediately in the oven.nhis amount usually takes up 3 baking trays and they are fine to bake together in one go.
- You will end up with beautiful crunchy meringue prepared to be decorated or to be put in an Eton mess or just in a bowl served for your guests or as a treat for yourself.
- TIP: if you like them chewy as some of my friends do just leave the meringue in the oven for a shorter time (1 - 1 1/2 hour) nnEnjoy.
