Meringue with Powdered Sugar

Ingredients

Sugar - 4.1 oz
Egg white - 4 pieces
Powdered Sugar - 4.1 oz

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 212°F (fan oven — 230°F) and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or foil.

Step 2

Carefully separate the yolks from the whites. Place 4 large egg whites in a large clean bowl. Beat with a mixer on medium speed until the mixture resembles a fluffy cloud and holds peaks when the whisk is lifted.

Step 3

Increase the speed and start adding fine sugar one tablespoon at a time, beating for 3–4 seconds after each addition. It is important not to overbeat while slowly adding the sugar. The mixture should be glossy and thick.

Step 4

Sift the powdered sugar and gently add one-third of the sugar to the egg whites. Mix with a metal spoon. Then gradually add the remaining powdered sugar. It is important not to stir too much.

Step 5

Using a dessert spoon, carefully place the mixture onto the baking sheet. Shape it into an oval using another dessert spoon. Bake for 90–100 minutes in a fan oven or 75 minutes in a gas oven.

Step 6

You can check the readiness of the meringues by tapping them — they should sound hollow. They should also easily come off the paper. Let them cool on the baking sheets or a rack. They can be stored in a tightly sealed container for up to two weeks or frozen.
