Meringue

I don't know what is the best recipe for meringue. I've made it from few different recipes and the result wasn't so bad. Only the shape was not as good as from the store. But after reading some reviews about this, I make my conclusion (I think) this is the best recipe of meringue which I found from Allrecipes.com.

The meringue as shown on image was not made by me. It was bought from the store in purpose to compare the taste between fresh meringue I will make and from the store. I can't compare the taste yet since I still don't have time to bake it myself but to photograph this cute meringue from the shop who can resist.. ^_*


Meringue

Ingrendient

• 4 egg whites
• 270 g confectioners' sugar

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Butter and flour a baking sheet.
2. In a glass or metal bowl, whip egg whites until foamy using an electric mixer. Sprinkle in sugar a little at a time, while continuing to whip at medium speed. When the mixture becomes stiff and shiny like satin, stop mixing, and transfer the mixture to a large pastry bag. Pipe the meringue out onto the prepared baking sheet using a large round tip or star tip.
3. Place the meringues in the oven and place a wooden spoon handle in the door to keep it from closing all the way. Bake for 3 hours, or until the meringues are dry, and can easily be removed from the pan. Allow cookies to cool completely before storing in an airtight container at room temperature.
