Step 1.
Heat the oven to 100°C. Line one large or two baking trays with baking paper.
Step 2.
Put the egg whites into a super clean bowl (any grease will stop them from rising). Using an electric whisk or freestanding whisker on a slow speed, whisk the egg whites until they start turning foamy, then turn up the speed to medium and continue to whisk the egg whites until they are super white and holding their shape in the bowl.
Step 3.
At this point, add a large spoonful of the sugar, whisk the whites for 30 seconds then add another spoonful of sugar. Repeat this process until all the sugar has been added and you are left with a smooth, stiff-peaked meringue that holds its shape completely in the bowl. Be patient throughout this process – it should take about 5-7 minutes!
Step 4.
Onto the lined baking tray, spoon the mixture into 8 roughly round meringues, leaving a few cm of space between each one as they will spread a little in the oven.
Step 5.
Place into the oven for 1 hr 30 mins until the meringues have completely dried out. You know they are done when they come off the paper easily. Once cooked, you can turn off the oven and leave the meringues inside to cool slowly (this is to prevent any big cracks from forming.
Step 6.
Once cooled completely, use as desired. We love them with Sichuan peppercorn strawberries and cream, see below. These meringues will keep for up to 4 days in an airtight container.
