Meringues


Ingredients

Ingredient Qty.   Unit
egg whites 4   ea
confectioners' sugar 2 1/4   c


Instructions

1) Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Butter and flour a baking sheet.

2) In a glass or metal bowl, whip egg whites until foamy using an electric mixer.

3) Sprinkle in sugar a little at a time, while continuing to whip at medium speed.

4) When the mixture becomes stiff and shiny like satin, stop mixing, and transfer the mixture to a large pastry bag.

5) Pipe the meringue out onto the prepared baking sheet using a large round tip or star tip.

6) Place the meringues in the oven and place a wooden spoon handle in the door to keep it from closing all the way.

7) Bake for 3 hours, or until the meringues are dry, and can easily be removed from the pan.

8) Allow cookies to cool completely before storing in an airtight container at room temperature.


Yield: 3 dozen meringues
