Ingredients:
- 5 eggs
- 250 g of icing sugar
- a pinch of salt
- A mixer, the one I use is this moulinex model.
Meringue recipe step by step
- Place the whites without any yolk in a bowl, very dry and clean, and add a pinch of salt.
- Beat the whites until they rise and turn white. Add half the sugar.
- Add the rest of the sugar little by little until you have all of it. Keep beating until all the way up and firm.
My tips and tricks
- The eggs have to be at room temperature. So take them out of the fridge a little before because if the egg whites are cold they will not mount well.
- Be careful not to get any bits of the shell when you separate the whites from the yolks.
- The rhythm of the mixer has to be continuous and enveloping so that it takes consistency.
- You can use normal sugar, but icing sugar is better since the meringue will absorb it more easily.
- If you like pastry creams, here are a few: a delicious pastry cream , scrumptious melted chocolate , and a that will make hazelnut cream or nutella everyone’s delight.
