Ingredients
Yasensvit Molodylni Chicken Eggs С0 10pcs
4 egg whites
Auchan Powdered Sugar 200g
200 g
Carmencita Vanilla Extract 150ml
1 tsp
Sto Pudiv Extra Salt 400g
pinch
Lemon
juice 0.5 tsp
Preparation steps
01
Prepare the egg whites — Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Make sure there is no yolk in the egg whites. Leave the egg whites for 30 minutes to reach room temperature. ⏱ 5 min. Guideline: The egg whites should be clear with no traces of yolk.
02
Beating the egg whites — Start beating the egg whites with a mixer on medium speed. Add salt and lemon juice. When soft peaks appear, gradually add 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar at a time. ⏱ 8 min. Guideline: The mixture should increase 3-4 times in volume and become snow-white.
03
Adding vanilla — When stiff peaks form, add the vanilla extract. Beat for another 1-2 minutes until completely smooth. ⏱ 2 min. Guideline: When you lift the whisk, the mixture should hold its shape and not fall.
04
Forming the meringues — Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Using a piping bag or two spoons, pipe small mounds 2-3 cm apart. ⏱ 10 min. Guideline: The meringues should be evenly rounded.
05
Baking — Place the baking tray in an oven preheated to 100°C. Bake at a low temperature without opening the oven. ⏱ 90 min. Guideline: The meringues become firm and easily detach from the paper.
06
Cooling — Turn off the oven and leave the meringues inside until they have cooled completely with the door closed. ⏱ 60 min. Guideline: The meringues are completely dry and crispy.
07
Tip⏱ Meringues are best stored in an airtight glass or metal container at room temperature. Avoid the refrigerator — humidity will ruin the crispy texture. Properly prepared meringues can be stored for up to 2 weeks.
