Excellent Meringues

• 2 egg whites
• 1 cup icing sugar
• 1 cup caster sugar
• 2 teaspoons vinegar
• 4 tablespoons boiling water
• 2 teaspoons baking powder

1. Put everything except the baking powder into a clean metal bowl, set over boiling water and beat with very clean beaters for about 5 minutes until your meringue holds.
2. Beat in 2 teasp baking powder, quickly just at the end.
3. I put my mixture into a forcing bag with a star nozzle and piped my meringues onto baking paper lined trays.
4. Bake in a very slow over for about 2 hours.
5. I like these held together with whipped cream into which I have folded lemon curd.
6. I like the slight yellowness against the white of the meringue.
7. I keep these on hand for quick and impressive entertaining.
8. They keep for ages and are nice with a cup of tea or coffee.
9. You will always get an oooh!
10. when you produce them on a pretty plate.
