Ingredients
- 3 egg whites
- 6 oz (170 g / 1 cup) soft brown sugar
Instructions
- Separate the egg whites: Carefully separate the egg whites from the yolks, ensuring no yolk gets into the whites as this will prevent proper whisking.
- Whisk the egg whites: Begin whisking the egg whites until they become foamy. Continue whisking and gradually add the soft brown sugar one tablespoon at a time, ensuring the mixture thickens and forms stiff peaks.
- Pipe or spoon the meringue: Transfer the meringue mixture to a piping bag or use a spoon to shape dollops onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake the meringues: Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Bake the meringues for about 1 hour. Once baked, if possible, turn off the oven and leave the meringues inside to cool gradually to prevent cracks from forming as they cool.
- Serve and enjoy: Enjoy the meringues as they are, or get creative by sandwiching them with whipped cream, dipping them in chocolate, or serving alongside ice cream for a dessert variation.
Notes
- Make sure no egg yolk contaminates the whites to achieve proper stiff peaks.
- Adding sugar gradually helps create a stable meringue.
- Cooling meringues slowly in the turned-off oven helps prevent cracks.
- Use soft brown sugar for a richer caramel flavor compared to white sugar.
- Meringues can be stored in an airtight container for several days to maintain crispness.
