Instructions

  1. 1

    Step 1

    Separate the whites from the yolks. Crack the egg in the middle and transfer the yolk from one shell half to the other, allowing the white to drain into a clean, dry bowl. Clean and dry dishes are the key to success.

  2. 2

    Step 2

    Add a pinch of salt to the egg whites.

  3. 3

    Step 3

    Whisk the egg whites with a mixer until stiff peaks form, so the mixture doesn't spill when you turn the bowl upside down.

  4. 4

    Step 4

    Gradually add sugar while continuing to whip.

  5. 5

    Step 5

    Whip until you get a very thick mixture. Run a fork across the surface — there should be clear marks left behind.

  6. 6

    Step 6

    Preheat the oven to 100 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the meringue with a tablespoon.

  7. 7

    Step 7

    Bake for 1.5–2 hours. At 1.5 hours the meringue will be soft inside, at 2 hours it will be drier. Do not exceed the temperature, otherwise the meringue will darken.
