INSTRUCTIONS
Set & Forget Meringues

3 large or 4 medium egg whites; pinch of salt; 5 ½ oz of caster (fine) sugar; ¼ tsp vanilla extract.

Make sure the whites are at room temperature, and whisk and bowl are squeaky clean. Heat the oven to 320 F and line a baking shet/tray with baking paper. Whisk the egg whites and salt until quite stiff and peaky. Lightly and evenly scatter 1/3 of the sugar on the surface and beat in gradually. Repeat twice, beating till all sugar has dissolved and the meringue is thick, stiff and glossy. Finally, beat in the vanilla. Dollop a tbsp of mixture onto the tray or trays (add a bit more to each if any left over, or eat!) and place in the centre of the oven. Close the door, turn off the heat and leave overnight or until completely cooled. They should be white and crisp outside but soft and marshmallowy inside. You can store these in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Use for above dessert.
Cheers, Brian
