How to make meringues

Collect your equipment. You'll need a mixer, 1 cup, 2 containers, a dessert spoon and a baking tray lined with baking paper.

Separate your egg whites. Put the yolks into a container and you can freeze the yolks and use for another recipe.

Preheat the oven to 120C fan forced.

Start whisking on a low speed and add a pinch of salt.

Keep whisking until soft peaks form.

Start whisking again on a higher speed and slowly add sugar spoonful at a time.

Check sugar has dissolved by grabbing a bit of mixture and rubbing it in between your fingers

Spoon out mixture and each on should be about a dessert spoon size. Cook for 1 1/2 hours or until meringues are crisp.

Finished meringues.

Present your meringues with anything e.g cream, peppermint crisp, raspberries, summer berries, mangoes, and banana.

The finished product. Enjoy!
