Recipe type: Dessert
Cuisine: Australian
Serves: 8
Ingredients
5 egg whites
1¼ cup caster sugar
1 scant teaspoon white vinegar
Whipped cream, sliced fruit or berries and passionfruit to serve
Instructions
Preheat oven to 115C / 239F
Place room temperature egg whites into a mixing bowl and whip with a balloon whisk until frothy.
S l o w l y add the sugar while beating on high
Continue beating until you can't feel the sugar when you put a bit of meringue between your fingers.
Either spoon or pipe the meringues onto a baking tray covered with baking paper or a silpat. I used a spoon because I wanted it to be quick and rustic.
Bake for 1 to 1½ hours, depending upon how crunchy you want the outside of your meringues. I like mine crunchy.
When the time is up, turn off the oven and leave the meringues in the oven to cool. (if you need the oven they can come out - I leave them in there because my mother left them in there)
Top with whipped cream, sliced fruit and a drizzle of passionfruit
