I love meringues. These fluffy sweet things, crispy on the outside, marshmallow-like inside...But oi, they are a pain to make!
Have you seen a basic meringue recipe? "After baking....leave it in a blow oven for 2 hours."
2 hours? Erm, not for me. I have to do something about that long wait.
Well, guess what? I made a batch today!
Firstly, I did away with the hand-breaking ritual of beating the egg whites till fluffy. Secondly, I had them baked in under 3 minutes.
Taste? They are just as crispy and light as any that came out of a blow oven after 2 hours!
This is what I call instant gratification.
With the second batch, I increased the cooking time to see what would happen.
It is not too badly burnt, the brown bits are nice and chewy.
