Meringues - Mini

Ingredients:

3 eggwhites
1 cup caster sugar
2 tsp rosewater essence
Pink food colouring

Method:

Preheat oven to 120 °C. Line 2 oven trays with baking paper. Put the eggwhites, sugar and essence in the small bowl of an electric mixer, beat on a low speed for 1 minute then increase to high and beat for 10 minutes until thick and glossy.

Add a few drops of pink [or another colour] food colouring, mix until combined.

Spoon or pipe the mixture onto prepared trays. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until the meringues are dry and crisp.

Turn off the oven and pull the oven door ajar, leave the meringues in the oven to cool.

Kate’s Tips:

Meringues can be made up to a week before serving, but store them in an airtight container in a cool dry place.

Meringues can be sandwiched together with whipped cream.
