Ingredients
- 4 egg whites
- 200g (7oz) caster sugar, sieved
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 120°C/Fan 100°C/Gas Mark ½.
2. Line 2 baking sheets with non-stick baking parchment.
3. In a bowl, using an electric whisk, whisk the egg whites to stiff peaks.
4. With the beaters still running, whisk in sieved caster sugar 1 tbsp at a time. Allow roughly 14 seconds between each addition, making sure it's whisked back to stiff peaks before adding more.
5. Fill a piping bag fitted with a medium-sized nozzle. Use a little mixture to anchor corners of the baking parchment to the tray.
6. Pipe shells about 5cm (2in) in diameter at the base.
7. Bake in an oven for roughly 1½ hours, or until the meringues will lift off the parchment cleanly. To completely dry out, turn heat off and leave in an oven until cool.
