Title: Meringues [I Make Double Quantity]
Categories: Aussie Biscuit Cake
Yield: 12 Servings
| 2 | Egg whites | |
| 1 | ts | Lemon juice -OR- |
| 1 | ts | Vinegar -OR- |
| 2/3 | c | Sugar, castor |
| 1 | pn | Salt |
| 1 | ts | Sugar, icing |
*** THE SECRET OF MERINGUES IS TO MEASURE THE EGG WHITES ***
Measure the egg whites. You should have 1/4 cup egg whites- the amount must be accurate to absorb sugar.
Combine egg whites, lemon juice, sugar and salt in a small basin of electric mixer. Beat on highest speed for 15 minutes, fold in sifted icing sugar.
Place meringue mixture in piping bag fitted with fluted tube. Pipe circles about 5cm [2"] or other designs of your wish on to aluminium foil covered trays. Bake in very slow oven for 1 hour. [I have the oven at 110^ electric]
Leave in oven until cold or overnight to dry out. When cold fill with banana and whipped cream or fruit salad or strawberry and cream or dip meringues into melted cooking chocolate. [90g/3oz dark cooking chocolate if used.]
Makes about 12.
