25-30
4 egg whites at room temperature
pinch of salt
1 teaspoon Herbie's Spices Fragrant Sweet Spice
1 cup caster sugar
Methods/steps
Preheat oven to 120 degrees C and line two baking trays with baking paper. Beat egg whites and salt until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, a spoon at a time, while still beating. When all sugar has been added, beat a further minute or two until mixture is very thick and glossy. Use a piping bag or two spoons to place mixture onto baking trays. Place in oven and reduce temperature to 90 C, bake for up to 90 minutes or until meringues are dry and crisp. Cook for a shorter time if you like them sticky in the middle. Once cooled, keep airtight until served.
Additional Tips
Leave the meringues to cool in the oven overnight, as the air in the oven is so very dry. The slightest hint of humidity will spoil them.
