Ingredients
- 100 g of egg whites at room temperature
- 200 g of granulated sugar
- 1 pinch of salt
- 4 drops of lemon juice
Instructions
- Meringues are a fundamental skill in classical pastry. Unlike the Italian-style, which are whipped with a syrup of 121° water and sugar, the French-style are made directly with egg whites and solid and cold sugar, omitting the syrup phase.
- They are simple to make, but keep in mind that the egg whites must be at room temperature if you want crumbly sweets with a perfect texture.
- This recipe yields a dozen large meringues, and the same quantities can be used to make classic meringues by simply reducing the cooking time.
- Meringues are delicious on their own, but they can also be used to decorate desserts, parfaits, cakes, and pies. They can be kept in a tin box or under a glass bell for a long time; the important thing is that they do not come into contact with humidity.
