Strawberry and Mint Meringues

Strawberry and Mint Meringues

Ingredients

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 120°C/100°C Fan/Gas Mark 1/2.
  2. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  3. Tip the egg whites into a clean mixing bowl and beat on a medium speed until the mixture stands up in stiff peaks when the blades are lifted.
  4. Turn the speed up and start to add the caster sugar, a dessert spoonful at a time. Add the sugar slowly to prevent the meringue weeping later, but don't over beat.
  5. Add the strawberry and mint white wine vinegar.
  6. Use a dessert spoon to scoop up the meringue and using another spoon to ease it on to the baking sheet, or you can just drop them in rough rounds!
  7. Bake for 1 hour/1 hour 30 mins/1 hour 45 mins in the oven until the meringues sound crisp. Leave to cool.
  8. I like to sandwich these together with mascarpone cheese!
