MERINGUES

on

 

Contributed by Valerie Bibb
  • 2 egg whites beaten until stiff
  • 2 cups sugar, add to egg white and beat well
  • 2 tablespoons boiling water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
Add water, vinegar, and vanilla essence to the meringue mixture. Beat until mixture holds peaks (it will almost liquify, but will become stiff as you beat).

Add baking powder and beat. 

Place spoonfuls well apart on waxed paper. 

Bake at 250° for 1 hour. Switch the oven off and leave meringues inside for a further 2 hours or overnight if baking at night.
