Meringues

Makes approx 15

You can make these meringues as is or you can add your own little touch of "specialness" by dipping them in melted chocolate, sprinkling 100’s and 1000’s on top before baking or adding a drop of food colouring while they are being whisked.  I also like to of pipe them into a lovely shape.

Ingredients:
2 Egg Whites
220gm White Sugar
Pinch Salt

Method:
Place the sugar into the Bellini Supercook jug and use the turbo mode for 10 seconds to grind the sugar and make it finer.
Insert the butterfly and then add the egg whites and salt. Set to speed 2, 40 degrees C for 9 minutes.
Remove the lid and leave to cool for 5 minutes.
Set to speed 2 for 7 minutes.  The meringue is now ready to spoon or pipe onto a lined baking tray.
Bake in a 100 degrees C oven for 1 hour.  Turn off and allow to cool in the oven with the door ajar.
**Note: It is important that the meringues cook on the low temperature so that they don’t brown in colour.  You want them to come out as close to white as possible.

Enjoy!
