Ingredients

2 hours plus drying/cooling
50-60 small meringues
  1. 160 gramsegg whites (from 4 or 5 eggs)
  2. 160 gramssugar
  3. 160 gramsconfectioners sugar
  4. 20 gramscornstarch

Cooking Instructions

2 hours plus drying/cooling
  1. 1

    Place the egg whites in the bowl of the mixer. Beat at medium speed until frothy.

  2. 2

    Add the sugar in the form of rain. Continue with the beating, always at medium speed, until the foam takes consistency and forms shiny peaks.

  3. 3

    Sift the confectioners sugar with the cornstarch. Transfer egg foam to a bowl. Add the sifted confectioners sugar in the form of rain and incorporate with enveloping movements using a wooden or rubber spatula.

  4. 4

    Place the meringue in a sleeve with a smooth or curly nozzle. Form the meringues on buttered-parchment-paper-lined baking sheets. Baking sheets should be cold or at least cool before forming the meringues.

  5. 5

    Bake them in the oven at 200 F for 1h 20m (more time if meringues are bigger). Turn off oven and leave them inside oven for a few hours to complete drying. Cool and store.
