Makes 40-60 meringues

Ingredients:

For meringues

– 4-5 egg whites (about 150g)
– 300g Siúcra Granulated Sugar
– 1/2 tsp vinegar
– Piping bag

For colours & toppings

– 2 tbsp. lemon zest
– 50g desiccated coconut
– 3 tbsp freeze-dried raspberries
– 3 tbsp cocoa

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 200°c. Line a baking tray (30×40 cm) with parchment paper, pour the sugar onto it and place in the oven for about 5 minutes.
2. Meanwhile whisk the egg whites into firm white peaks.
3. Take the sugar out of the oven and lower the heat to 100°C.
4. Continue whisking the egg whites at high speed and add the hot sugar a little at a time. Following this, add the vinegar.
5. Whisk at maximum speed for 5-10 minutes, or until the mixture is opaque and completely stiff. Add flavourings as desired.
6. Click or pipe out small meringues.
7. Bake in the oven for 3 hours, then switch off the oven and leave the meringues in the residual heat for a few hours, until they are completely dry.

Add Flavourings as Desired

– 2 tbsp. lemon zest, yellow food colouring
– 50g desiccated coconut, half added to the meringue mixture and half scattered over the top
– 3 tbsp. freeze-dried raspberries, red/pink food colouring
