Ingredients
- 80g egg whites (about 1/3 cup)
- 80g powdered sugar (about 2/3 cup)
- A few drops of lemon juice
Instructions
- Whip Egg Whites: In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites until firm peaks form. Add a few drops of lemon juice to help stabilize the meringue.
- Add Sugar: Gradually add the powdered sugar while continuing to beat the mixture until stiff peaks form.
- Coloring (Optional): If you want colorful meringues, add food coloring with a toothpick when the meringue is almost fully beaten.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 90-100°C (194-212°F). Pipe or spoon the meringue onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 1.5 hours or until the meringues are dry and can be easily lifted off the paper.
- Cool: Let the meringues cool completely before enjoying!
Notes
- You can customize your meringues with different food colors to match themes or events.
- For best results, ensure there’s no oil or grease in the bowl while whipping the egg whites.
- Store your meringues in an airtight container for up to a week to maintain their crispness.
