Last Friday I demonstrated to year 10 students how to make meringues.
Really looking forward to making Eton Mess with the group this Friday! :))
Some useful meringue making tips:
Make sure
1. The egg whites are at room temperature
2. Your mixing bowl and the mixer whisk attachments are free from any grease
3. Don't skip Cream of Tartar
4. Check your meringue with your fingers, if you can feel any sugar crystals, continue whisking
5. If you want to colour your meringue, use gel or powder food colouring. Liquid can make your meringue too runny.
6. Don't leave your meringue batter in your mixing bowl or piping bag for too long
7. Bake your meringues or dry them out at a low temperature. I always bake them at 100C for 1.5h to 2h
8. Leave them in the oven to cool down completely with the oven door closed.
