Cooking Tips

Add sugar, 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time:
When making meringues and some cakes, sugar is best slowly added to beaten egg whites. This serves to increase the stability of the foam. Sugar, however, can retard the foaming of the whites and must be added slowly so as not to decrease the volume. Beat the whites until foamy, and then slowly beat in the sugar.

Meringues

Serves / Makes 12 large

Ingredients:
2 egg whites
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence

Method:
Preheat the oven to 125ºC. In a clean deep bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar to a stiff foam. Gradually beat in the sugar and continue to beat until the mixture is smooth and glossy and stands up in peaks. Beat in the vanilla. Place in spoonfuls on a lightly greased oven tray. Bake in the preheated oven for an hour or until set and dry. Remove from the baking tray and store in an air-tight container at room temperature, or in the freezer. Serve with whipped cream.
