Easy delicious Meringue
Ingredients
6 egg whites
½ tsp vanilla extract
170g caster sugar
170g icing sugar
Small amount of margarine to base the
baking tray or baking paper
To Serve:
300ml double cream
Mixed summer fruits and berries
Method
1. Pre-heat the oven to 110˚c/Gas
mark ¼.
2. Line
the
baking
tray
with
greaseproof paper so that the
meringue comes off easily once it is
cooked.
3. Separate the egg whites and yolks.
4. For the best results use the balloon
whisk for beating the egg whites.
Place the egg whites into the bowl
and select setting 2 for 20 seconds,
then select setting 3 for 30 seconds
adding the vanilla extract and a small
amount of the caster sugar, then
select setting 4 for 30 seconds
adding another small amount of
sugar. Select setting 6 for a couple of
minutes adding the caster sugar,
then the icing sugar, gradually, a
tablespoon at a time, until all the
sugar is used and until you have a
nice glossy and stiff meringue
mixture.
5. Using the Andrew James spatula,
place the mixture into the baking
tray either in one big round portion
or into small individual meringues.
6. Bake for about 1hr 30 minutes until
the meringues are golden and crisp.
The time of cooking may vary
depending on your oven.
7. After cooking, take the meringues
out of the oven and off the baking
tray, allowing them to cool on a
cooling rack until they are at room
temperature.
8. When the meringue is at room
temperature, divide it into portions
and serve with double cream, mixed
fruits and berries.
