Ingredients
4 egg whites ( room temperature)
200 gm (1 cup) caster sugar
A pinch of salt
1/4 Tsp cream of tartar ( or 1/2 Tsp Lemon juice)
1 Tsp Vanilla extract
Method
1. Take egg whites in a large mixing bowl, add in a pinch of salt and cream of tartar. Beat on low to medium speed until frothy and white in colour.
2. Add sugar gradually(a table spoon at a time).Wait for a few seconds after each table spoon to let the sugar dissolve. Beat on medium speed and you can feel the difference in volume of egg whites. This stage is very important. Once you complete adding the entire amount of sugar, add in vanilla extract. Beat on medium to high speed for 5 to 10 minutes until it become glossy and stiff.(stiff peak as shown in the video)This stage may take some time. But make sure you stop beating at the right consistency. Do not over beat.
3. Apply gel colour ( red & white) on the sides of piping bag using a brush. Use a folding spatula to fill your piping bag with sufficient amount of meringue.
4.Preheat oven to 105 degree Celsius . Start piping the meringue on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.( Here I have used the piping tips- wilton 1M & ,1A you can make different shapes based on your preference).Bake for 40 to 45 minutes. Once it’s done, turn off the oven and let the cookies rest in the oven itself for half an hour to 45 minutes. Then take it out and cool completely. Store them immediately in an air tight container. ( Keeping them outside makes the cookies chewy)Meringue cookies are the best gift you can make for your loved ones!!!!!❤️
