When you are going to an event with a significant guest list under 10years (eg. The family Christmas get together)
things like Vietnamese cold rolls or Oysters never go down as well as when you take something made from sugar and food colouring...
Party Meringues
4 eggs whites, at room temperature
3/4 of a cup of caster sugar
2 teaspoons of cornflour
1 teaspoon of white vinegar
Food colouring
Sprinkles.
STEP ONE:
Preheat your oven to 100C
You want to whip your egg whites in a steel bowl until soft peaks form.
Next up you want to gradually add your sugar, making sure it has dissolved between each addition.
STEP TWO
Continue to beat until the meringue is thick and glossy and leaves big thick ribbons when you lift the beaters out of the mix. Whisk in the cornflour and vinegar.
STEP THREE:
Add pink food colouring to half of your mix.
You can then pipe out the meringues in beautiful little swirls or go for a more lazy rustic option by just spooning the same size heap fulls onto your baking sheet.
Add sprinkles.
Table spoon sized heaps with need 2hrs in your preheated oven and it's a good idea to switch your trays half way through.
When the meringues are ready they will sound hollow when you tap them.
Once out of the oven and cooled transfer them somewhere air tight until you are ready to bring them out.
If they come in contact with any moisture you'll end up with a sticky, chewy mess
