Yum! Yum! Yum! Why has no one ever told me how good these taste??!!
This is my first attempt at meringues. I usually have an aversion to meringues and pavlovas and that kind of stuff and I could never understand why there were so popular......I think I understand now! Must've just had bad experiences.
I followed the instructions exactly. I almost skipped the part about doing a vinegar water clean first but since I had to bring some leftover egg whites to room temperature.....I thought I may as well. The only reason I made this recipe is because I had leftover egg whites and cream from making portugese custard tarts. I had 5 leftover and worked it out that 3 egg whites must equal about 100g. I'm not sure what meringues are meant to look like if they're good or if they've failed but these tasted delicious so I'm assuming they worked out!
I didn't make the blueberry sauce recommended but rather just heated up blueberries and maple syrup quickly in a small frypan.
So all up it takes at least 2.5 hours to make these. Oh and I used caster sugar instead of grinding up raw sugar too.
Definitely worth making. If you serve 6 they make rather large servings and I had two of these so I'm feeling very stuffed and kinda regret having the second now. Anyway, here is a photo:
