SLEEPLESS BY A MERINGUE

I am not a trained pastry chef but I love making desserts.
These delicious meringues have been my long sleepless, for a long tim, they never feel the way I wanted to.
One day I realized that the weather and the work area are very important when making meringue, if the day is warm and the utensils are very clean they come out perfect .
With lots of love and pride I want to share this recipe, which I can now say, these are the most delicious meringues I’ve ever eaten.

INGREDIENTS

4 egg whites
1 / 4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 1 / 4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
pinch of salt
orange food coloring

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (110 degrees C).
Place the whites in the bowl of a blender, add cream of tartar, salt and beat at high speed to soft peaks form.
Add the sugar gradually beat for 10 minutes.
The meringue should be shiny and with firm peaks.
Reduce speed and add vanilla and a splash of food coloring.
Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and with two spoons or pipping bag make the design you like the most.
Bake for one hour or until meringues are firm.
Do not worry if the center feels chewy.
Store in a container with lid.

This recipe makes 30 meringues.

Enjoy, they are delicious.
