Ingredients for Meringue
4 egg whites
1-10 tablespoons of sugar
One teaspoon of vanilla essence
Salt and lemon
Preparing Homemade Meringue
In a deep bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form with a pinch of salt
When they are almost whipped, gradually add the sugar
Flavor with vanilla
Tips
The eggs should be at room temperature
The eggs should not be very fresh. If you have fresh eggs, separate the whites and leave them in the refrigerator in a covered bowl the day before
The egg whites must be free of particles
Beat in an area close to a heat source for better results
Use powdered sugar
The mixing bowl or the bowl where you will whip the egg whites must be perfectly dry and clean, as well as the whisks
It’s better to use an electric mixer with whisks at high speed. However, first beat them a little manually with a fork or whisk until frothy
Grease the sides of the bowl with a few drops of lemon
To check if the egg whites are whipped, carefully tilt the bowl to see if they stay in place
Do not overbeat them, as they will deflate
Bake the meringue at a temperature of 150 degrees Celsius for 20-30 minutes.
