Perfect Meringues ✨

Ingredients: 5 egg whites (aged in the fridge for at least 24 hours) 320 g powdered sugar A pinch of citric acid (at the tip of a knife) Instructions: Separate the Eggs: Carefully separate the egg whites from the yolks, ensuring no yolk contaminates the whites. Place the egg whites in a clean, grease-free container, cover, and refrigerate for at least 24 hours to age. This improves stability and texture. Prepare the Egg Whites: Remove the aged egg whites from the fridge. While it's optimal to let them reach room temperature, you can whip them cold if preferred. Start Whipping with Citric Acid: Place the egg whites in a clean mixing bowl. Add the pinch of citric acid to the egg whites, which helps stabilize the meringue as you whip. Whip on medium speed until the egg whites are foamy and begin forming soft peaks. Add the Powdered Sugar Gradually: Slowly add the powdered sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to whip. Increase the speed to high once all the sugar is added, and whip until the meringue is glossy and forms stiff peaks. Shape and Bake: Preheat your oven to 170°F (75°C). Pipe or spoon the meringue onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 2–2.5 hours. Cool and Dry: Turn off the oven and leave the meringues inside until they can easily be lifted from the parchment and are fully dry inside. Store and Serve: Once cooled, store in an airtight container to maintain crispness. Notes: Aged egg whites help create a more stable meringue with a smoother texture. Properly baked meringues should be crisp on the outside and dry inside. #PerfectMeringues #MeringueRecipe #BakingFromScratch #SweetTreats #CrispyMeringues #BakingTips #DessertLovers #HomemadeMeringues #MeringuePerfection #SweetDelights #BakingInspiration #MeringueLove #EasyBaking #BakedGoodies
