Ingredients

4
- Ingredients
- 2 large egg whites (at room temperature)
- ½ cup caster sugar
- 1 tsp Corn starch
- 1 Tbsp sunflower oil (for greasing)
Preparation steps
1.
Pre-heat the oven to 140°C | 275F | gas 1.
2.
Whisk the egg white to soft peaks in a large, clean mixing bowl.
3.
Add half of the caster sugar, one teaspoon at a time to the egg whites, whisking well between additions. Then add the cornflour and whisk well.
4.
Add the remaining sugar in the same fashion as before, whisking well between additions until you have a thick, glossy meringue.
5.
Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a 3cm straight-sided nozzle. Line a large baking sheet with greaseproof paper and lightly oil the top of the paper.
6.
Pipe the meringue spaced apart onto the greaseproof paper; hold the piping bag steady whilst squeezing gently, then draw it up directly to create a teardrop shape.
7.
Place in the oven and reduce the heat to 110°C | 225F | gas 1/4 immediately.
8.
Bake for 50-60 minutes until the meringues have cooked and dried out, with a very pale golden colour to them.
9.
Remove and allow to cool on a wire rack before serving.
