Mini Meringues
Delicious and easy Mini Meringues - perfect for your next party or special occasion.
Course:
Dessert
Ingredients
- 3 egg whites at room temperature
- 1 to 1.5 cups white sugar
- dash of vanilla
Instructions
-
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly flour.
-
Fit a large piping bag with a tip, we used an open round tip.
-
Add the egg whites to the bowl and mix or whip on medium until they become very noticeably foamy and frothy, this took about 8 minutes with our Kitchenaid stand mixer.
-
Very slowly start to add the sugar in, do only a tablespoon or two at a time and let it mix for a minute before adding more.
-
Continue this until the sugar is gone and you have stiff peaks with lifting out the mixer or whisk.
-
Pre heat your oven to 200 degrees
-
Fill the piping bag with the meringue mixture and twist the open end tightly so it will not leak out.
-
Carefully pipe each meringue about ½ to ¾ of an inch away from one another. They do not need to all be the same shape-but the same general size.
-
This will be very helpful for consistent baking.
-
Bake 45 minutes to 1 hour.
-
Let cool completely before storing in an air tight container.
Note: if you do not have a stand mixer this recipe will require a lot of hand whisking!
